Pego has many VILLAS IN ALICANTE on offer to tourists. It is in the north of the region, a part of the region known as Costa Blanca which is situated on the east coast of Spain. The population of Pego is roughly 11,000 people and the town has a significant and lengthy history. The valley in which the town sits dates back as far as the Palaeolithic era. Historical evidence has shown not only these ancient travellers in the valley inside the Palaeolithic era, as there is also evidence of inhabitants throughout the Neolithic era as well as the Bronze Age. Organized raids were completed in this area by the Romans who create a type of settlement inside the valley, but the culture who made the most impact on the good standing of Pego was the Moors. The Moors permeated the land in the year 726 and for the Muslims it absolutely was an essential valley. Once the Christians had reconquered the region, it needed a few centuries before the Moors who had converted to Christianity were eventually removed and there was a suspicion that they still practiced Islam. They held together most of the farming knowledge and the Christians were not even close to understanding the right ways to construct proper irrigation channels. Today, you will find a variety of areas that are well worth exploring. Like many Spanish towns, the most impressive architecture is usually either militarily or religious and Pego has both. The Renaissance style chapel dedicated to the woman in the Assumption is the 16th century chapel that was built around the ruins of an earlier chapel. Also, you have to visit the Hermitage of San Jose which is a 1800s building as well as the Hermitage of San Miguel which was built in the 17th century. On the military side, you will notice the ruins of the Castle Ambre: this castle is thought to have originated at the beginning of the 13th century. It is also recommended to try to visit Pego during the fiestas which are held throughout the year. The most visited festival praises the battles involving the Moors and Christian followers and the reconquest of the area by the Christians which is held in late June each year. Many people are visiting the province and staying in VILLAS IN ALICANTE for holidays, plus so many people even come and stay on a more permanent basis. There is a substantial expatriate community which resides there, spreading throughout the Costa Blanca. Pego is one of those small towns that completely escape the busy throng of the major tourist centres. Therefore if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday on the peninsula, Pego is ideal for you.
