City of perseverants, Moors and Christians A revealing anecdote of a football match has given celebrity to this monumental city, in which there were numerous Moorish uprisings and in which the famous Festival of Moors and Christians arose in the sixteenth century. It is a place from which to make numerous excursions in the north of Alicante. We recommend you visit without haste: The Tourist Interpretation Center of the city Explora, a letter of introduction to the city. The Medieval Towers Stroll through the outdoor terraces and balustrades that overlook the river bed, with wonderful views of the Bridge of Sant Jordi. The Modernist Building of the House of the Pavo, in whose doors of the facade you will find the figures of the peacocks. The Industrial Circle, inside which you can visit the halls, the garden or the Library of accusing modernist style. The Refuge of the Spanish Civil War that will allow us to know closely how the war was lived in the city of Alcoy. After this pleasant walk we stop to recover strength. We expect excellent restaurants with a quality offer. In the afternoon we can take a walk through the Plaça de Dins to go next to the Museum of the Moors and Christians Festivities. A cake or chocolates, ice cream in summer or chocolate with churros in winter ..., any of these temptations will give us the strength to continue our route. The purchases can be made along the route, where you will find many souvenir shops, sausages and pastries. Another interesting option is the night visit; with it we can enjoy a pleasant walk through the historic center with the most emblematic buildings illuminated.
