The Jalon Valley & The Costa Blanca A region covered in orange groves, almond trees and grape vines, the Jalon Valley offers delightful views and fabulous wine tasting! The Moorish influence left over from their 5 century rule is still very apparent, from the terraced landscapes to the local fiestas where Moors and Christians stage dramatic fights on the beaches. The local village of Murla is just a few kilometers away and is a traditional and sleepy small village where fresh bread is available every morning. The slighter larger local villages of Parcent, Orba and Alcalali offer local stores, tapas bars, bodegas and resturants. Jalon is the largest local village with an excellent Saturday market full of unusual antiques, local crafts and other traditional stalls. The Costa Blanca has a variety of beaches, the closest, Denia, being just a 20 minute drive away. Denia's 16th century castle sits proudly above the town and offers a fascinating insight into the turbulent history of the area. Watersports are very popular along the 15km of sandy beaches and fiestas are celebrated here throughout the year. Calpe boasts the spectacular Penon Ifach, although this is a tough 332 meter high hike that should not be attemped in the midday sun. Calpe is very popular with holiday makers who enjoy the shopping and amenities in the town. Javea is split into 3 very attractive areas, the old town, the beach and the port. The coast line is stunning and extends into the Montgo national park, whilst the town and port offer boutiques and excellent restaurants that are busy throughout the year. |
