On Saturday, Bigastro will be honouring one of its sons, Thomas Villanova.
Tomás Manuel Vilanova studied philosophy and medicine at the University of Valencia. However, his broad interests also led him to study physics, chemistry, botany, mathematics, pharmacy and astronomy, as well as numerous languages (Latin, Greek, Arabic). He also learned modern languages from his travels in France, Italy, Germany and Hungary.
