Blanca offers the traveller a chance to enjoy an adventurous type of tourism which includes a descent of the River Segura, hiking, and pony trekking among other activities. Another attraction is the Holy Week of Blanca, a tradition that exists since the XVI century in Blanca.

That is the reason for this English book which tells you about the Brotherhoods of the Holy Week - to discover the ancient secrets of this small village.
