Photo: Picturesque Town Pego Alicante Spain
The picturesque town of Pego, Province of Alicante, nestled in the hills on the Costa Blanca of Spain in Europe.
The picturesque town of Pego in the Province of Alicante, is situated on the Costa Blanca of Spain. Surrounded by hills and orange groves Pego is a charming place to visit. To get a panoramic view of the area climb up the Figuereta, breathe in the fragrant air and see the bell tower of the Church of the Assumption.
The town of Pego has traditionally been a rice growing region, but because it is in the Valencia/Alicante vicinity the citrus fruit industry has been encouraged, and now the rice production has suffered.
The town of Pego in Spain has a long history, and was an important centre during the 11th century. At one time Pego became the property of the Duke of Gandia, a member of the infamous Borgia family.
Every year on the Saturday before Lent the people of Pego celebrate their festival - Carnestoltes which ends the next Saturday with the 'Burying of the Sardine' followed by a parade, fireworks and citizens carrying lighted torches. ... continue below the picture...
