The streets are paved with stones and pass between the moshava\u2019s original houses (some of which have been reconstructed), which are bustling with activity.<\/p>\n<p>There are many quaint and charming restaurants and coffee shops, interspersed between beautifully designed stores that sell local art works and lovely souvenirs. There are art galleries, unique artists' studios and workshops. New, modern buildings stand alongside old ones, such as the synagogue and the administration building, an old courtyard with a display of antique agricultural implements.<\/p>\n<p>From its early days,\u00a0<strong>Zichron Ya\u2019akov<\/strong>\u00a0had two main characteristics: wine and tranquility. The moshava\u2019s founding farmers cultivated vineyards and the large winery built here in 1889 became the area\u2019s most important industry. During the British Mandate period (1917-1948), the moshava became a holiday resort and rural vacations site, and to this day has hotels, spas and guesthouses.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Zichron Ya\u2019akov\u00a0is a wonderful town for tourists, both local and foreign.
