>.

Garcia Egea, the mayor, has visited the main tourist enclaves in this town, which is "a thriving destination in rural tourism" in Almeria province. There are many things to do in Lijar. The Castle is at the top of town. It's also home to the Castle neighborhood and its winding streets. Garcia Egea pointed out that there are other charming parts of the town.

The provincial head of Tourism has also pointed out that the municipality offers a variety of active and nature tourism activities, as well as a host of other tourist attractions. It also offers hiking. The Sendero del poyo runs from the bridge crossing the Tahali at the town's exit and passes through some of Lijar's most stunning places, including the Fuente de los Canares or the Huertecillas Bajas. It also includes a natural viewpoint of more than 980m>>

Garcia Egea said that Lijar's "strategic location" allows it to be a starting point for other towns in the Sierra de los Filabres, such as Chercos and Laroya. The delegate stated that Lijar is a quality and attractive destination for rural tourism. This sector has seen a lot of growth since the pandemic.

He also pointed out the history of this population, becoming a star in memorable episodes. For example, in 1883, the Consistory of Lijar declared war on France to address the grievances of King Alfonso XII's visit to Paris. The so-called peace agreement was signed in 1983, a century later.

Garcia Egea has highlighted in Lijar "the importance of projecting and caring for security as an added value, and to protect the competitiveness and viability of the destination">.

Visitors continue to choose places that offer security for a few days of relaxation or vacation. The Ministry of Juan Marin has promoted the "Andalucia Segura" seal as a way to identify establishments that follow all recommendations of the health authorities. Against COVID There are more than 3,200 establishments that have earned this distinction in the community, with more than 250 in the Almeria region.

Garcia Egea also reminded municipalities of the subsidies the Ministry had once more made available for them to develop new tourist products and projects to diversify and strengthen their offering. This year's call is more than 21 million euros in just four lines. These items demonstrate our firm commitment to tourism. The delegate concluded that tourism is a strategic sector that generates employment and wealth, and it helps to fix the population to the territory.
