is not one of the biggest regions in Spain, but it surely is a
beautiful one, with a long list of things to do and places to visit. The
region has a very agitated history, with France, Aragon, the Bask land
and Castile playing important roles in its development. It is this
history that most attracts tourists to Navarre, as the monuments and the
buildings lie as testimonies for the past events. Navarra can be
described as a region with an impressive monumental richness, thanks to
Saint James’ Way, the route followed by thousands of pilgrims every
year, so make sure you have enough time at your disposal for visiting
all the Cathedrals, castles and palaces. However, these are not
Navarre’s only attractions; cities such as Artajona, still surrounded by
its medieval walls, Estella Olite, the city where Navarre’s kings had
their seat or Tudela are definitely worth a visit. The capital city of
Navarre is Pamplona, the most famous Spanish city regarding its
dangerous and full of adrenaline tradition: bullfighting. The festival
that takes place in Pamplona every year having as main event the running
of bulls is one of the most famous celebrations in the country. While
in Navarre, also make sure that you have time to visit some of the 50
nature preserves on its territory, as the views are exceptional. Enjoy
Navarre to the fullest! About the authorClub Villamar offers many holiday villas dispersed all over villa espagne piscine and whether on the location l estartit.

Spain - The Hidden Wonders Of Alcoy
The city of bridges, hidden between mountains and lying at the junction
of four rivers, Alcoy is a historically rich, culturally eclectic city
full of interesting sights. About 45 km north of Alicante, it is easy to
reach from the larger city and worth the trip. The CityFounded
and built around the cotton and paper industry, Alcoy has grown into
its own over the past two centuries. It began its modernization during
the last part of the Spanish industrial revolution and hasn’t stopped.
With a population of around 60,000, it is a growing center of culture in
Spain. The first Spanish industrial school was founded here and its
central streets are adorned with classical architecture from the 18th
and 19th centuries. Inside Alcoy, the bridges that cross the four
rivers are renowned for their structural beauty. The Archeological
Museum features much of the town’s history and focuses on its
Greco-Roman roots. There are even several archeological sites within the
city such as La Serreta and El Puig that date from the 5th century B.C.
The historical significance of the sites can be seen in the remnants of
the many towns and villages from throughout the ages. From a 12th
century castle and the Na Valora tower of the 13th century to the
hermitage of San Antonio Abad of the 18th century, a tourist can retrace
the footsteps of ancient peoples and get a glimpse back in time. The FestivalThe
fiesta of the Moros y Cristianos is celebrated vigorously in Alcoy from
the 21st to the 24th of April every year. This is the most important
cultural event in the city and everyone gets involved and helps to
organize. The first day of the festival is dedicated to
musicians. Bands and street performers play traditional music all day
and then gather in the city square to play a celebratory hymn in the
evening. On the second day, visitor participation is encouraged in the
colorful processions of ancient armies. In the morning, the Christians
will enter the city followed by the Moors in the evening. On the third
day, the celebrations continue with tributes to San Jorge or Saint
George. The final day sees the recreation of the famous battle el
Alardo. The two armies march down the streets, weapons in hand and
making a lot of noise. After a great showing of military might, the
ambassadors sign the peace treaty in the town square. With so many fun things to do and see, Alcoy is a must-see on any vacation to the Alicante region of Spain and location villa costa brava.

and sleepy hamlets. Other AttractionsContinuing
