Fermoselle

Fermoselle is a lovely medieval hilltop village. It is full of charm and lovely architecture. The village still has a “running of the bulls” event each year and there are large gates strategically placed throughout village to keep the bulls on track.

There are about 1,200 underground cellars in the town; some are used by wine producers but the majority are owned by families. Some are located under houses but some might be across the road or dug into solid rock.

Another phenomenon we noticed around the town were crocheted artworks (urban knitting is what our guide called them). There was even a crocheted cover for the phone box.

There were lots of places for sale in the village. A fully furnished one bedroom apartment was going for 55,000 euros and it was located in the centre of the village.Read more
