In the first article I wrote on the blog mentioned that we could find things that caught my attention for good and evil, places that can go unnoticed and deserve a special interest or places that are not going for some time and really worth to see . For this article we will focus on the latter two cases, which I had not even been mentioned.

This time we will go to the Barrio de Santa Cruz, well known for its Holy Week procession, and especially by the rise of your steps to the shrine from San Nicolas. But in this neighborhood and on days 1,2 and 3 May celebrate the festival of Las Cruces de Mayo , which increases and striking colors.

These parties are Christians, as usual, but its origin seems to be that it is "Roman-pagan " very normal. Are bound to May as this is the month of the Virgin Mary (month of light, spring, flowers ...)

is a neighborhood that is well worth a visit also from its highest point, near the Christian wall, you can see part of the bay of Alicante, port, town of Old Town, those enviable penthouses, the castle and the atrocities of the Gran Sol Melia. ..

The origin of the neighborhood in question is in the eighteenth century due to the need for housing after the economic upswing the previous century, in which the populations of their immediate surroundings (Muchamiel, San Juan, Benimagrell, Vullafranqueza and San Vicente, the latter two newly created) and significantly develop the defensive arc (Aspe, Monforte, Agost, Busot and Water) is population stagnation.

As I mentioned in the title, the neighborhood is walled , particularly in the interior of the expansion of the wall conducted between ss. XIII-XIV. A necessary extension after the Christian conquest, leaving two defensive precincts.

The first of these was the Arab And is accessed most famous and important Ferrissa Gate (an iron gate, hence the name, protected by two towers. While you can see some of the door, but you have to throw a lot of imagination.) This door is located on a site at the intersection of the street and the street Villavieja Maldonado.

The second enclosure (ss.XIII-XIV) , which later would include the district of Santa Cruz, is the one made to accommodate Christians who came and settled near the present San Nicolás to reach the contact zone between both areas. This wall encompassed the ancient Islamic walked about the streets jorge Juan, Altamira, La Rambla and then spun coming up where you can see now (a day can climb the parapet of that stretch of wall to the castle, and soon I will comment)

ideal elevation drawn by Paul Rosser, of what must be Alicante in the Middle Ages.

In this last picture you can see a hypothetical reconstruction of the walls of Alicante in the Middle Ages as the Castle has little to do with the current seeing a large basil where if an attack took shelter both people and animals.

Well, as I command that every delivery ... where is it?

I think this is facilitated ...
