One+day+in+Agramon

Agramon is a familiar place, located in the south of Hellin, in Albacete´s province. It´s a valley surronded by mountains and the Mundo river crosses it. It´s a small village with few population which increases when it´s summer, Easter, Christmas or a long weekend. It´s because its population had to migrate to look for a job.

Drums, oil, olive, wine, lamb are the main things you can taste. Specially fabulous, are the snails, rabbit and chicken paella and black rice too. For drinking a cold beer, Jumilla or Manchego wine are perfect for the meal. If you are a sweet tooth, you must eat the typical and great desserts. I always begin with it.

It´s a special place to ride a bike, go jogging or simply to go for a walk with spectacular pictures in each curve. You can climb Cancarix volcano and see its crater, the Spanish Ibex climbed it on free. Foxes hidden behind the brushes and wild boar running from you. I think we are really the strangers in these places. You can examine caves painting and old cities from the past (Roman, Arabian and Fenician Cities).

The most important thing is people. They are very talkative, extrovert and friendly.

But there is a big problem. You can´t see evetything in a day so you must make your reservation in "La Escarihuela". It´s a place where you can sleep, have a rest, a shower or simply talk with local people.
