There is a small archaeological museum inside the "House of Culture". It's quite interesting, because they show the way the very first inhabitants in the area, the Phoenicians, used to live, how they worked, how they farmed, and even there are some stones and skulls of them.

Hay un pequeño museo arqueológico en la "Casa de la Cultura". Es bastante interesante porque muestra la manera en que vivian los primeros habitantes de la zona, los fenicios, vivían, como trabajaban, como cultivaban, e incluso muestran alguns huesos y calaveras de ellos.

Calle Estanco

This lovely street drives you to some craftmanships' shops where, among them my favourite one is placed! At the end of such a small street you can see a blue sign: "El taller de las calabazas" ("The pumpkins' workshop"). its owned by an artisan who made a lot differents thing just with pumpkings, from spoons to lamps. It's very nice for an original present!

Coat of arms - Escudo

Walking from the Mill by the calle Real (Royal Street) we saw this coat of arms, in the corner with the steppy street Hernando Darra. This symbol was at the Mill when it used to be a palace and it represents the family coat of arms of the Counts of Frigiliana.

Paseando desde el Ingenio por la calle Real vimos este escudo, haciendo esquina con la escalonada calle Hernando Darra. Este símbolo estaba en el Ingenio cuando era un palacio y representa el escudo de la familia de los Condes de Frigiliana.

Callej?n del Se?or

This is other of the nice passages we visited strolling by the Royal Street. It's called the Passage of the Lord because of the Cross placed on its entrance, with a lighted candle. When you come in there is one more steppy street.

Este es otro de los bonitos callejones que visitamos paseando por la calle Real. Se llama el callejón del Señor por la Cruz que está situada a su entrada, con una vela encendida. Cuando entras hay otra calle con escaleras.
