SIGHTSEEING IN IZNÁJAR
Imagine you’re an alien, what about your town do you think
would attract you the most? What if you were a baby? An
elderly person? A couple?
Do you like where you live?
How different is it from other places?
Where would you rather go travelling, to a city,
the countryside, the mountain, etc?
How many possible activities can you do in just a weekend? And during
a day?
You have a budget of 100 Euros: how can you spend them here?
Is it easy for a foreigner to find what’s hot in your town?

Imagine you are a team of experts on
tourism and the Mayor of your Town asks
you to create a tourist website in order to
raise the amount of tourists visiting the
area. The villagers are in hardship, due to
the late economic crisis, and the people
have to leave the town in search of better
economic condition. Therefore the mayor
is desperately looking for a solution to the
problem and is willing to compensate
your work providing it brings about good
outcomes”
YOUR MAYOR NEEDS YOU!
