The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Valencia Province region
SAGUNTO This town developed culturally and economically, coins were minted and trade with the Greeks and Phoenicians flourished. This relative prosperity was suddenly cut short in 219 BC by Hannibal, who besieged the city for eight months, meeting with heroic resistance from the inhabitants. This gave rise to the Second Punic War, and following the Roman victory a new process of growth and expansion commenced, with the city becoming known as Saguntum. Its splendour slowly fell following the Romanization of Hispania, when it was successively invaded by barbarians, Alans, Vandals, Goths and Bizantines in the 5th, 6th and 7th centuries.
In the 8th century, Saguntum was taken over by the Moors. As of this period, the town became known as the Arab Morbiter, becoming Morviedro in Castilian and Morvedre or Molvedre in Valencian, derived from the Medieval Latin muri veleres told walls). Under Arab dominion, it reached a new age of splendour, with baths, palaces, mosques and schools being built for the local populace.
In 1098 it was reconquered by el Cid, although the definitive reconquest and its return to the Christian fold ensued in 1238 under Jaime I. At that time Jews, Moors and Christians were still allowed to live in peace.
A few centuries later, the city was severely damaged during the war of the Germanias, the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714), the Peninsular War (1808-1814) and the Carlist Wars (1833).
At the beginning of the 20th century, the steel industry began to flourish here, continuing production until the 80s, after which the area was declared a preferential industrial zone so as to stimulate the diversification of its industrial fabric, converting Sagunt into one of the most important economic hubs in the Land of Valencia.
VALENCIA Lively, warm and welcoming, Valencia City is Spain’s third-largest city and birthplace of its most famous dish - paella. Refreshingly non-touristy, it is blessed with beautiful weather, an excellent fine arts museum, and an atmospheric old town. Valencia’s cathedral reflects the city’s rich architectural history with Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance styles all featured. It is claimed that the Holy Grail (Santo Caliz) - the gold cup used by Christ during the Last Supper - is housed in the cathedral’s museum. The orange blossom coast - Costa del Azahar - stretches north from Valencia city. With a rich hinterland dominated by spectacular displays of orange blossom every spring, it is also home to the historic Roman town of Sagunto and the attractive resort of Benicasm. Sagunto, lying 25 kilometres north of Valencia, is made up of three parts - the Roman ruins and old town, the modern new town and the resort of Puerto Sagunto on the coast. Explore the Roman theatre and castle and then head for a refreshing swim off the town’s sandy beaches. Journey on to the university town of Castellon de la Plana which boasts an excellent fine arts museum and interesting modernista architecture. Heading inland, the enchanting towns of Morella and Mirambel in the north and Jativa in the south are well worth visiting. Relics - including a Neanderthal skull - have been found dating to 30,000 BC in a cave near Jativa.
Teruel (skiing!)is a one and a half hours drive up the motorway.
It looks as though we are going to get Formula 1 in 2008 around the port. The circuit will be 4300m long and pass by the new Marina and beachfront as well as the science museum.
