It is covered in gorgeous beaches, so relaxing in the sun will not be a problem.

Belmonte is known for its Jewish community, dating back to the 13th century and is covered in history.

To take in all the history, visitors can head to the Belmonte Jewish Museum which opened in 2005.

Throughout the area, you can see a range of megalithic sites dating back 6,000 years.

You can also find stunning archaeological findings throughout the lands.

It is perfect for art enthusiasts, as it was the birthplace of poet Fray Luis de Leon.

The town also has an impressive 15th-century fortress.

And the old town is even classed as a Property of Cultural Interest.

While walking through the town, you can enjoy noble buildings and monuments with loads of heritage and culture.

The castle, which shelters Dona Juana la Beltraneja, might look familiar, as it’s where a number of movies have been shot.

Located on a hillside, the exterior complex is secured with a Gothic gate, and connects to the city walls which run through the town.

Inside, you can see the Mudéjar coffered ceilings, the plasterwork and the Gothic reliefs.

You can also enjoy the palace-alcázar of Don Juan Manuel.

The city walls, which date back to the 15th century used to have five access gateways.

Three of these remain: San Juan, Chinchilla and Puerta Nueva.

Visitors can also head to the Gothic church of San Bartolomé.

Its construction was led by some of the greatest artisans of that time, and it also has choir stalls from the Cuenca Cathedral.

The church also houses the font of Friar Luis de León.

The old Jesuit Monastery is another historic site, made up of Baroque construction from the 17th century.

Its cloister is part of Plaza Muñoz Grandes, and the rest of the building houses the Courts and the Post Office building.

The city has many different delicious dishes to try, and a pint costs just €2.50.

Temperatures remain in the teens throughout the winter, making it perfect for a warm getaway.

Ryanair offer direct flights to Porto Airport which take just under two and a half hours.

The flights start from €40.

Of course, Sky and Virgin Media customers who don’t pay for sports upgrades can benefit too by watching Sky Mix or Sky Showcase.

But the free launch is for tomorrow (Thursday) only – if you fancy watching the rest of the tournament you’ll need to add Sky Sports to your subscription.

Coverage will continue on Sky’s dedicated darts channel, Sky Sports Darts.

The move comes amid a huge spike in darts interest, with the 2024/25 World Darts Championship seeing a 29 per cent increase in TV audience compared to the previous year.

Some 4.8million watched the final between Luke Humphries and Luke Littler.

Sky has just extended a deal with the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) to broadcast the World Darts Championship until 2030.

Sky Mix largely airs classic shows but also has some Sky Originals.

The channel can be found on number 11 on Freeview and 141 on Freesat.

Sky customers can access it in HD on 151 via satellite and 158 on Sky Glass / Sky Stream (or 154 in ROI).

Virgin Media customers can also watch in HD on channel 135.

More free sport for Freeview

Eurosport recently announced that it is leaving the UK after 35 years with much of its content set to move to TNT Sports.

But bosses from owner Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) have said some programming will appear on its free channel, Quest, meaning those who only have Freeview are in for a boost.

Quest will air every MotoGP Sprint race, as well as a new weekly cycling show, and highlights of the Giro d’Italia and La Vuelta a España.

WBD Sports Europe chief Scott Young has said “parts” of the Tour de France will be shown on Quest too.

The changes are set to come into effect on February 28, when Eurosport will close down.

Stream swapping – the easy way to cut your bills?

Here’s what Sean Keach, The Sun’s Head of Technology and Science, thinks…

It’s no secret that TV streaming apps are costing more and more.

Not only are prices shooting up, but we find ourselves asked to pay for an increasing number of apps and services.

And when you combine those TV bills with your music streaming, mobile and internet fees, and every other drain on your bank account, it all starts to get a bit much.

One of the best ways to cut your TV bills is to simply cancel all of your streaming subscriptions and only sign up to one per month.

Pick an app like Netflix, Disney+, or Apple TV+ and smash through all of the content you want to watch on that app.

Then the next month, swap to something else.

And once you’ve done them all, you can cycle back to the start again.

It’s an easy way to avoid forking out for a rolling library of streaming apps with more content than you could possibly watch.

Also don’t forget that paid-for streaming isn’t the only game in town.

There are loads of apps that don’t cost a penny to enjoy, and downloading a few will unlock thousands of live TV channels plus tens of thousands of movies and shows.

Try apps like Tubi, The Roku Channel, Plex, and Pluto TV to get some ad-supported television without having to pay any monthly fees.

Justin Bieber and wife Hailey seen for first time since sparking fan fears with worrying appearance

JUSTIN Bieber and his wife Hailey have been seen for the first time after the pop star sparked concern with his worrying appearance.

The Sorry hitmaker, 30, was spotted leaving upscale eatery The Corner Store in New York on Tuesday evening.

Their date night comes after Justin’s “rumored marriage troubles” with wife Hailey recently came to light after he appeared “hollow eyed” during a recent outing.

Yesterday the new parents, who welcomed son Jack Blues last August, appeared to put on a united front as they enjoyed a some alone time together in The Big Apple.

Model Hailey, 28, looked chic in a leather jacket, sheer tights and black heels.

Justin layered up in a stylish baggy look with a khaki trench jacket and a hooded jumper with black trousers.

The musician sported a unshaven look and tried to keep a low profile with a pair of sunglasses and a beanie hat covering his face and head.

Despite their date night, the pair maintained a slight distance from each other, with Hailey a few steps in front of Justin.

While Justin’s demeanour has continued to fuel rumours that their six-year marriage is under strain.

Last week the dad of one wore a checked shirt and dark trousers, covering up with a yellow hoodie and gray wrap hat.

The Beauty And A Beat singer kept his eyes focussed on the path ahead, yet looked to be biting his bottom lip as he strolled with his hands in his pockets.

The Canadian left dark stubble around his chin and moustache as he stepped out on his low-key solo outing near Union Square.

Earlier in the month, he was seen sporting just his tighty whities during a holiday to Aspen with Hailey.

SPLIT RUMORS

Yet despite the show of unity, the couple – who are parent to son Jack Blues – have been surrounded by split rumors.

A source has previously said of his marriage problems: “Some of Hailey’s friends have advised her to leave him.

“His behaviour is sometimes unacceptable. She’s put up with a lot.”

In late December, Justin posted some mysterious messages on social media which suggested the couple had broken up.

He shared a video on Instagram with the caption: “Co-parenting is failing . . . like tf.”

The term “co–parenting” normally applies to couples looking after their children after splitting up.

Last week it was claimed that the couple, who live in a secluded mansion in Beverly Hills, could go for days without even speaking to each other.

Another source said: “Hailey’s been struggling with Justin almost since the start of the marriage.

“She loves him madly but he’s a loose cannon.”

Justin unfollowed his wife on social media this month, before quickly following her again, claiming his account had been hacked.

He then broke his silence on the matter, with him even refollowing his wife and sharing a statement on his Instagram stories.

Taking to his page, the Baby hitmaker wrote: “SOMEONE WENT ON MY ACCOUNT AND UNFOLLOWED MY WIFE.

“S**T IS GETTING SUSS OUT HERE.”

LOVE STORY

It was another bizarre moment in their tumultuous relationship.

The couple married in 2018 at a courthouse in New York.

Hailey and Justin were first a couple 10 years ago, before splitting up in 2018.

He then got back together with his former girlfriend Selena Gomez in May of that year.

But that reconciliation only lasted a few weeks and Justin reunited with Hailey for good.
