| This town
is located in the heart of the Sierra
de Francia. It is renowned
in national tourism as one of the most attractive enclaves. Travelling through its urban layout and narrow, cobblestone streets you arrive at its unforgettable Plaza Mayor where a cross and a fountain receive and refresh the traveller. The old jail, the church, the theater, the bridges, the fountains etc. are only some examples of the attractions of this town in which traditional mountain architecture reaches unusual beauty and originality. Consider substituting the most common and travelled routes and loose yourself in far away neighbourhoods and, if it is possible for you, do so at dusk following the steps of the moza de ánimas. Hearing her bells ringing in the darkness, you will discover lintels, shields and engravings which will take you back in time. Its residents have, for centuries, taken care of this beautiful enclave for us. And if what you like are festivities and amusement, don't hesitate to visit La Alberca in the month of August to enjoy, in all its beauty and authenticity, the traditional Ofertorio de Nuestra Señora and the religious play of La Loa. |
