Gorey is a parish in the British Crown Dependency of Jersey, located in the south-east of the island, and is known for its long coastline, idyllic scenery and unique agricultural traditions. It is home to one of Jersey's most famous beaches, St. Aubin's Bay, where golden sands and crystal clear waters attract many visitors. Gorey is also a major producer of strawberries and tomatoes in Jersey, and the annual summer 'Strawberry Festival' (La Fête des Rouges Gorges) is an important cultural event in the area. In addition, the parish retains the remains of Norman architecture, such as the ancient church of Gorey, and the iconic Corbière Lighthouse, making it a fascinating area of south east Jersey with its mix of natural beauty and cultural heritage.
Asmara, the capital of Eritrea, is located on the country's central plateau at an altitude of about 2,350 meters and has a pleasant climate that has been described as the "Italy of Africa". The city is a blend of Italian colonial architecture and local culture, with a large number of well-preserved modernist buildings, including futuristic churches, Art Deco theaters, and colorful homes. An example of early 20th century urban planning, its historic center was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017. Asmara is not only a political and economic hub, but is also known for its unique cultural scene and laid-back pace of life, and is a window to explore Eritrea's history and diverse civilizations.
