ALAQUÀS CITY TOUR

 

We went through Alaquas old town with a guide who also was a teacher at the school who showed us the famous things about the old City, and a German treacherous from Herzogenrath translated the explanation into English. 

At First, he showed us the streets and houses and told us some Facts about it how the roof of the houses was built so that they catch the rainwater and let it flow down so they can collect it. The old city was built by the Arabians in the 16th century as you could see by the architecture and the small streets. We also saw a Parking lot that was a big plaza back then, it was really cool. 

As the tour went on he showed us the oldest bakery with the oldest oven in Alaquas we could see through a small hole in the wall. 

Later we saw a big plaza with nice houses build in the 19th century in the modern style, we talked about the architecture and the Clay vases that you could see all around the city and how they were made. 

After that, they showed us very old houses. It was pretty cool how the doors were so tiny because of the people's heights back then. In the end, we saw the water pipes and how they were used to store the water in them. 

Then we went back to the school and spend the rest of our day with our hosts. Gracias.
