RE: Up and down through the streets of Xixona

in Wednesday Walk2 years ago

Smaller cities are the ones that manage to have some attention to past history.
Guidebooks that illustrate different parts of the city are a wonderful idea: tourists can go deeper and understand some aspects of the social fabric that characterizes the inhabitants.
The uphill street made in steps is very interesting: there is a similar one in Istria in Rovinj, connecting the waterfront with the cathedral.

Sort:  

When we visit a new place, we like to see the history too, but it depends on the time we have. When a town is organized well then it is easy to learn something about the place through guides or boards placed in front of the important buildings. :)))

I know about Rovinj but we didn't visit the city itself.

Too bad! Rovinj is very beautiful, the building style is characteristic because it is a mix of Austro-Hungarian and Italian, but very striking.
As soon as the opportunity comes your way go without thinking: all of Istria is worth visiting!

The Austro Hungarian style is beautiful, and adding the Italian - I am pretty sure it's outstanding 😉
