Ella
This is the best place to celebrate Christmas. I loved the decorated streets and shops. The holiday mood began early and I felt an extraordinary anxiety. I walked through the forest and drunk plenty of water from the famous well.
Mary
The bridge has good views of the river, i loved taking a peaceful walk here to clear my mind, the church was also built very uniquely and it is very big. The streets were also very clean and well lit in the evening

This town contains a lot of evidence of the spiritual Journey of the people in this town. Though now the churches lie in ruins, they still make up a beautiful historical site. Most churches were built by the Franciscan and they date back to the 15th century.

This town is really ancient. It is known for its churches. The spiritual history of the people in this town was amazing. I was able to learn about their cultural heritage. The people also were really hospitable.

I loved visiting the most legendary locations. I started by visiting the Santa forest and discovering the local legend. I drank from the famous Tekija well and I was happy that I was able to fulfill the wishes I had for the place. I will visit again and try out more ideas.
