Alsacia:<br />
Un tesoro en el corazón de Europa<br />
Alsace: A treasure in the heart of Europe<br />
Por/By: Denise Rostan<br />
It is a region of France located northeast of the country,<br />
on the border with Germany and Switzerland; its<br />
capital is Strasbourg. This region was the object of<br />
continuous disputes between France and Germany,<br />
which is why at times it belonged to Germany and at<br />
times it belonged to France.<br />
Since the Second World War, Alsace belongs to France<br />
and covers an area of 8280 km2, much of which<br />
is covered by the great forest of the Vosges whose<br />
continuation in Germany is the Black Forest; also,<br />
it has large tracts planted with vineyards. Its wines<br />
and vineyards are a precious treasure that can be<br />
discovered along the famous Alsace Wine Route. This<br />
is the smallest region of France, it is 190 km long and<br />
50 km wide, and its entire area is full of touristic sites<br />
to be discovered.<br />
Es una región de Francia situada al nordeste del país, en la frontera con Alemania y Suiza, su capital es<br />
Estrasburgo. Esta región fue objeto de continuas disputas entre Francia y Alemania, situación por la cual en<br />
ocasiones perteneció a Alemania y en otras a Francia.<br />
Desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Alsacia pertenece a Francia y tiene una superficie de 8280 km2, una gran<br />
parte de los cuales están cubiertos por el gran bosque de los Vosgos, cuya continuación en Alemania es la Selva<br />
Negra; tiene además enormes extensiones sembradas con viñedos. Sus vinos y sus viñedos son un preciado tesoro<br />
que podrás descubrir a lo largo de la famosa Ruta del Vino de Alsacia. Esta región es la más pequeña de Francia,<br />
tiene 190 km de largo y 50 km de ancho, toda su extensión posee una gran cantidad de lugares de interés turístico<br />
por descubrir.<br />
It is also recognized as one of the most prosperous and<br />
dynamic regions of France, its geographic location<br />
positions it at the core of the European economy, being<br />
an area of intense economic and industrial exchange.<br />
Due to the short distances and site characteristic, it’s ideal<br />
to travel by car to know Alsace, preferably by local roads,<br />
which are in perfect condition and have great signaling,<br />
they can be narrow and some only have one lane.<br />
