L’Alfas wins quality badges

THE open-air Villa Romana de l’Albir Museum and the Tourist Info of the Paseo de las Estrellas by the sea on the Racó de l’Albir beach have just been awarded quality badges from the Institute for Spanish Tourism Quality at tourism exhibition FITUR in Madrid.

The Roman ruins museum is in Boulevard de los Musicos 28, Playa Albir, and contains the ruins of a Roman villa thought to have been occupied between the fourth and sixth century AD.

The museum opened in 2011 and is an opportunity to see one of the best-preserved examples of traditional Roman baths in the Valencian community. The hot water heating system can still be seen, as well as a Mausoleum where the family were buried. It is a free activity and a must for local history buffs and tourists. The entire visit is accessible for people with impaired mobility and for children in prams. For groups with over eight people, ask about the availability of the guided visit service and book by email (museovillaromana@lalfas.com).
