After a leisurely departure from Jávea we will make our way inland to Anna where we will have a refreshment break, with time for taking photographs of the exterior of El palacio de los Condes de Cervellón and La Canal de Navarrés. We will then meet our 2 guides who will split the group into two for our visit to the beautifully restored El palacio de los Condes de Cervellón, now a Heritage Centre.
The Ethnological Museum located in the old stables of the Palace, formerly the Muslim Castle, houses tools and implements of different trades used many years ago; the Water Museum which contains information panels explaining the different uses that water has played since ancient times:
watercourses for domestic purposes, for the irrigation of fields and how they were used to work flour mills, and from the sixteenth century, in textile factories, paper and tobacco mills. The Archaeological Museum on the third floor of the Tower highlights pieces of Muslim crockery found in excavations in the Cervellón Palace. The Arab Courtyard recreates the decorative world of the Muslims, settled in this town from the 12th century, with its splendid ceramic mosaics, coffered ceilings and plasterwork. Having worked up an appetite, we will re-board our coach for the short
journey to the Lagos de Anna, where we will have lunch at the Restaurante
Ananda. Before we depart, there will be time for a photo opportunity
at the Lagos de Anna, a few minutes’ walk from the restaurant.
