Tour triumph

ALMOST 80 people discovered more about Almuñecar’s fascinating history in the first event in a series of guided walks offered by the council’s Department for Culture on Sunday, January 22.

The guided tours entitled ‘A walk through history’ take place on a monthly basis, typically on Sundays to allow all local residents or visitors to get involved.

The tours take guests on a route through the town, discovering more about interesting landmarks in the town and their historical and archaeological roots. Local archaeological expert, Elena Navas shares her expertise with guests on the town’s historical heritage which includes influences from Roman and Moorish civilisations.

Each tour takes place in a different part of the town, and last Sunday’s event took place at the Cerro de la Iglesia Parroquial de Almuñécar.

Participants met at the town’s Casa de la Cultura and wandered the town’s winding streets towards Puerta de Granada, making stops at landmarks including Plaza Los Higuitos, Pósito and Calle Nazareno.
