The Best Places to Visit in Bornos
Castillo-Palacio de los Ribera
- The old Fontanar Castle, which is of Arab origin and only the Torre del Homenaje and a few remaining portions of the old wall survive, contains this one-of-a-kind castle-palace.
- The old castle's ruins are part of a sizable complex with a quadrangular floor plan that also includes a late Gothic palace with Renaissance features that was constructed in the 16th century by the aforementioned Fadrique Enriquez de Ribera and surrounded by a lovely garden.
- The Torre del Homenaje, a highly sturdy tower with a quadrangular floor plan and a massif in its northwest corner, makes up the castle's oldest portion. Its interior appears to be divided into many chambers.
- The southwest corner of the palace with a vast arcaded courtyard on two sides and a Gothic-style parapet or balustrade that has nearly disappeared today.
- Interesting gargoyles can be found on the first floor's arches, and a late Gothic gateway with cardina leaf detailing can be found in the top cloister's gallery.
- Only a little portion of the tower's fleur-de-lys crest and segments of plaster with Segovian-style engravings are still visible today.
- Pageboys wearing the ducal crown are seen in the tower's windows.
El Caminito Del Rey, El Chorro
- Originating in the early 20th century, this unusual aerial route is 100 metres above the gorge walls.
- To transport supplies and maintenance personnel to the nearby hydroelectric dam, it was constructed between the Gaitanejo and El Chorro waterfalls.
- King Alfonso XIII first inaugurated the Conde de Guadalhorce dam walkway in 1921, and ever since, it has been referred to as "the King's small walk" (Caminito del Rey).
- The track is straight and only goes in one direction, descending from north to south, with some sections on mountain roads and some on suspended walkways.
- From the beginning in the town of Ardales to the exit in Lora, it is 7.7 kilometres long and takes about 3 to 4 hours to walk.
- The beginning's reception area houses a restaurant, offers several parking spaces, and serves as the last stop for the shuttle bus that connects the trail's north and south ends.
Playa de la Cala Mijas
- La Cala de Mijas is one of the original fishing communities.
- A quaint town with a preserved Moorish tower, a welcoming community, and many appeals.
- La Cala de Mijas is a trendy village with many fine restaurants, stores, a drugstore, and beach-front bars.
- It is situated between the cities of Fuengirola and Marbella, adjacent to the well-known development of Calahonda.
- The distance to Malaga International Airport is only 20 minutes by car. The town has superb facilities, a gorgeous beach with golden sand, and is close to larger towns with more action.
- It offers a friendly, leisurely pace of life that is not entirely dominated by tourism.
- The lively and pleasant town of Fuengirola, the historical Mijas Pueblo, and the cultural metropolis of Malaga are all just a short drive away.
- Upscale Marbella, to the west, is just a 20-minute drive away. The bus from the town centre may take you to Marbella and Fuengirola town centres, making La Cala de Mijas the ideal holiday base from which to explore other coastal regions.

Centro de Artes de Mijas
- The Centro, founded in 1972 by foreign immigrants to teach art to local children, has grown to be a significant aspect of life in Mijas.
- In addition to offering a variety of art and language lessons, it has developed into a place where people can socialise.
- The Centro de Artes is a non-profit organisation primarily administered by volunteers. It is located in Edificio Algarrobo, a building that looks out over the Plaza Virgen de la Pena community square.
- There are numerous art classes offered during the week, and there is a Children's Creative Workshop on Saturdays.
Parque Nacional de Donana
- Doana National Park is a protected natural area located in Huelva, Cádiz, and Seville provinces in Andalusia, southern Spain.
- It has a total area of 543 km2, of which 135 km2 are protected. The park is a region of marshes, small streams, and dunes in Las Marismas, the delta where the Guadalquivir River empties into the Atlantic Ocean.
- When the World Wildlife Fund and the Spanish government joined to buy a part of the wetlands to conserve it, it was declared a nature reserve in 1969.
- The draining of the marshes, the exploitation of river water to increase agricultural productivity by irrigating the land along the shore, water pollution from upriver mining, and the growth of tourism infrastructure have all posed constant threats to the ecosystem.
- It bears the name of the seventh Duke of Medina-wife, Sidonia's Doa Ana de Silva y Mendoza.
- Doana National Park boasts unique biodiversity in Europe, despite some parallels to the Parc Naturel Régional de Camargue of the Camargue river delta in France, with whom Doana Park is twinned.

Bornos Culture and Traditions
- Borno is a desirable place to visit because it is open to everyone. An abode for everybody. Locals have a phrase saying, "Maiduguri is Home," or Yerwa Fato.
- The culture of the Borno people is essential. Some of the various cuisines that are mouthwatering delights include Kisrai, Sinasir, Bisqi, and Denderu.
- The majority ethnic group is the Kanuris. These other ethnic groups inherit Kanuri cultural traits, particularly the language and cuisine.
- In most homes, eliminating offensive odours involves the ominous aroma of fragrance steaming from fire jars.
- In Kanuri and Shuwa cultures, paying dowries in gold is customary. Like other Northern states, the Shehu, Emirs, District heads, and other traditional title holders lead the royal riders in a show of horsemanship at festivals to honour Sallah festivals and other significant occasions.
- Another event celebrated by the local Shani government in Borno state has multiple meanings. Every year, the Minwara festival is celebrated.

Traditional Jewish meals

- Celebrity chef Marcel Ihnák respects Jewish culinary heritage while giving traditional dishes a contemporary twist.
- With bacon-stuffing-like dumplings, lean pieces of beef are simmered in a flavorful sauce. The cubed carrots offer a different texture, and the fresh herbs enhance the flavours.

#Food

- You're in for a treat if that's the case. The same eatery offers a carefully picked range of appetisers, including cheeses with drunken caramelised onion toppings and baked bread.
- Rich vinaigrettes and a deliberate amount of crushed nuts or stewed fruits bring out the best in each flavour.
- Two diners can easily be satisfied by three to five plates, which can be enjoyed with an inexpensive bottle of local wine or as part of a tasting when each plate is paired with a different variety or vintage.
Sausages made of wild game
