Madrid \u2013 The Spanish daily newspaper El Pa\u00eds promoted Algeria <\/a>on Thursday through its dedicated travel section “El Pa\u00eds Viajes,” describing Algeria as a “hidden gem, rich in diversity and unexplored treasures.” The article, written by Sara Andrade Abad, was titled “Algeria, a Journey Between Landmarks, the Desert, and Cervantes,” presenting Algeria as a rich tourist destination that blends history, culture, nature, and stunning landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expert traveler and writer Emma Lira, a historical novelist and author of “The Captive” about Cervantes’ captivity in Algeria (which was adapted into a film by Alejandro Amen\u00e1bar), recommended a 12-day tourist itinerary. This trip, scheduled for January and March 2026, would start from the capital Algiers and take tourists deep into the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The article\u2019s introduction invites readers to a unique journey far from usual routes, describing Algeria as a blank canvas and a destination where the spirit of adventure is alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Pa\u00eds highlighted Algeria’s breathtaking natural scenery and unique historical heritage, starting with Algiers and its ancient Kasbah, with its endless alleyways, along with the famous “Cervantes Cave” in the Belouizdad neighborhood\u2014described as a witness to the forgotten era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the capital, the article pointed out that Algeria boasts several UNESCO World Heritage sites, especially Roman ruins and the Mauritanian Royal Mausoleum (Tombeau de la Chr\u00e9tienne) in Tipaza, as well as the ancient cities of Timgad and Djemila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journey reveals Algeria\u2019s vast geography and expansive desert, especially around Ghardaia, with its M\u2019zab Valley, traditional palaces, markets, and the beauty of the red city of Timimoun, so named for its red buildings and palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma Lira was also captivated by the city of Beni Abbes, called the \u201cPearl of the Saoura\u201d because of its stunning landscapes featuring palm oases and sand dunes, with the journey ending in Taghit, the desert jewel of Algeria\u2019s heartland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature in one of Spain\u2019s most influential newspapers is a valuable promotion enhancing Algeria\u2019s image as a premier and diverse tourist destination, an important step supporting the country\u2019s strategic tourism development under the national plan that aims to diversify the economy and attract global visitors.algeriainvest+1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
