Castle Building - A Puzzle
from: almunecar.be, thanks!
Almuñecar's two strong sides are its multicultural history and its also multicultural tourism. About both sides we can learn very interesting things in the existing Multis around this area. I believe it is time now for a cache about the history of tourismim, more specifically, the first wave of tourism in the 13th century when a dynasty of muslim nobles first discovered the mild climate, the beautiful landscape and the pretty girls of the tropical coast and when 5 nobles built 5 castles each with another number of towers in 5 different villages.
I am sure up to that point you have found out that this cache is not really about history and the informatin given shouldn't be taken too sincere. It is just about Geocaching an solving puzzles. All historic background isn't authentic and was just made up.
