Líjar

Village

Líjar is a municipality of Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. On 14 October 1883 Lijar declared war on France because, "Our King Alfonso, when passing through Paris on the 29th day of September was stoned and offended in the most cowardly fashion by miserable hordes of the French nation." No actual fighting ever took place. In 1983, Lijar declared peace.

  • Spring

    Fields in bloom and good walking temperatures.

  • Summer

    Hot at midday; festivals tend to cluster in these months.

  • Autumn

    Golden light, mushroom season and fewer visitors.

  • Winter

    Cold and short days. Life gathers in the bar and the square.
