The wines of the Costa Blanca are a poem in a glass, a true reflection of the Mediterranean land where the sun and the sea breeze merge to create oenological jewels of distinguished and authentic character.

Marina Baixa:

The wines of this region evoke the strength and mystery of its rugged mountains and deep valleys overlooking the Mediterranean. With intense reds and fresh whites, they stand out for their genuine and balanced character, as if in each sip a soft breeze was unleashed, full of herbal aromas and notes of ripe fruit. These are wines that speak of the contrast between the vigor of the land and the mildness of the climate.

Marina Alta:

Here the vine finds the perfect refuge on terraces that rise from the sea, trapping the saline soul of the coast and the sweetness of the sun. Its whites, especially those made with Muscat of Alexandria, are a fresh, floral and slightly honeyed song, as if the summer is perpetuated on the palate. Marina Alta wines are delicate, elegant and sophisticated, ideal for romantic souls looking for the reflection of the Mediterranean in a glass.

Vinalopó:

In the warmest and most intense heart of the Costa Blanca, Vinalopó offers robust wines of great character. The reds, made mainly with Monastrell, are voluptuous, with notes of black fruits, spices and mineral touches that evoke the dry, reddish earth under the burning sky. These wines have a noble and persistent sincerity, like the embrace of a sunset in warm lands.

Each sip of Costa Blanca wines tells a story of passion, land and sea. They are the elegant testimony of an oenological culture that has learned to love and celebrate every corner of its geography, offering an unforgettable sensory experience for those who seek beauty and authenticity in their glass.

In the picturesque enclave of Polop de la Marina, stands with distinction the renowned Blanquet Livestock. Since its foundation on March 25, 1999, this illustrious entity has dedicated its efforts to the exploitation of cattle, combining tradition and modernity in its practices. Located at 43 Sagi-Barba Avenue, its presence is emblematic in the region. Over the years, Ganados Blanquet S.L. has maintained an impeccable reputation, reflected in its commitment to excellence and quality in each of its activities. Its trajectory is testimony to an unwavering dedication to the livestock sector, bringing prestige and honor to the community of Polop.

La Font de Partagat, located in the foothills of the majestic summit of Aitana, is a corner where nature unfolds its purity in its maximum expression. This spring, hidden among a landscape of imposing mountains and infinite skies, is much more than a place; it is an experience that connects the soul with the very essence of the earth.

The water that springs from the Font de Partagat is a crystalline gift, a jewel that emerges directly from the bowels of the mountain. Its quality is unparalleled, an elixir that refreshes the body and renews the spirit. Its purity is testimony to the natural balance that reigns here, and its freshness, a caress that recalls the perfection of the simple.

The surrounding environment, with its fragrant pine forests and winding paths, invites the traveler to stop, take a deep breath and let himself be enveloped by the serenity of this enclave. From this point, the gaze is lost in the horizon, where the mountains and valleys are intertwined in a mosaic of greens and blues, like a picture painted by the hand of time.

The Font de Partagat is not just a spring; it is a symbol of life, a corner of peace and a testimony of the natural wealth that Aitana jealously guards. Here, water not only quenches thirst, but also invites us to reflect on the harmony between man and earth, reminding us that the essential always springs from the heart of nature.

The Aljofra Castle, also known as the Benifato_Confrides Castle, is an imposing vestige of the past nestled in the mountains of the Guadalest valley, in the province of Alicante. This place, of indescribable natural beauty, is home to the ruins of this fortress that, although marked by the passage of time, tell a story rich in culture and conflict, woven in the heart of the Middle Ages.

Origins and Andalusian influence

Probably erected during the 11th century, at the height of Muslim rule on the Iberian Peninsula, the castle was part of a strategic defensive network in the mountains of Alicante. Its location in an elevated enclave offered a panoramic view of the valley and strategic control over the commercial and military routes that connected the interior lands with the coast.

The name “Aljofra” comes from the Arabic “al-hisn,” which means “the castle” or “the fortress,” and reflects the Andalusian legacy that permeated the region for centuries. Built of stone and adapted to the steep slopes of the terrain, its design responded both to defensive needs and to the aesthetics and functionality of Islamic architecture.

The Reconquest and Christian transformation

In 1245, the area passed into Christian hands after being conquered by James I of Aragon during the expansion of the Kingdom of Valencia. From that moment on, the Aljofra castle was adapted to serve the interests of the new feudal lords, although it retained much of its original structure.

Throughout the 13th and 14th centuries, the castle witnessed tensions between the Christian settlers and the Moors who remained in the region, who continued to cultivate the fertile valleys and perpetuate their traditions in daily life. This period was marked by frequent rebellions and clashes, until the final expulsion of the Moors in 1609, an event that profoundly transformed the demography and economy of the region.

Decline and historical legacy

With the advance of time and the decline of its strategic value, the Aljofra castle was progressively abandoned. The forces of modernity relegated these medieval fortresses to a state of ruin, although they never ceased to be venerated as symbols of resistance and historical memory.

Today, the castle of Aljofra is presented as a place of evocation and reflection, where visitors can tour its remains and contemplate the landscape that stretches at its feet. From its fallen walls, echoes of its glorious past can be perceived, a time when it was a bastion of cultures in constant transformation.

A testimony of history and nature

The Aljofra Castle not only offers a connection to the medieval history of the region, but also invites you to enjoy the breathtaking natural beauty of the Guadalest valley. Its ruins, perched in a setting of rugged mountains and Mediterranean forests, are a reminder of the human ability to adapt and thrive in inhospitable environments, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire admiration and respect.

The Guardia Civil, Spain's century-old institution, stands as a bastion of honor, service and commitment to the peace and security of the nation. Founded in 1844, this public security force has been able to combine throughout its history the tradition of its founding values with the modernity of contemporary challenges, consolidating itself as a symbol of integrity and dedication.

Its uniform, unmistakable and steeped in history, is much more than an outfit; it is a declaration of principles. Each garment and each insignia speaks of a vocation of service that transcends daily duty, embodying protection and assistance to citizens in any circumstance. From the most remote valleys to the bustling cities, the Guardia Civil deploys its serene presence, being both custodians of the law and allies of those who need it most.

In its essence, the Civil Guard not only watches over public order, but also acts as a bridge between citizens and the State, reinforcing mutual trust through its closeness, empathy and professionalism. Its members, with rigorous training and a deep sense of duty, work tirelessly to preserve coexistence, security and justice, always acting with loyalty to democratic principles and fundamental rights.

The Civil Guard is, in short, more than a security force: it is an emblem of silent and persevering dedication, a pillar of Spain's stability and an example of how order can be maintained with firmness, but also with humanity and respect for all citizens.

The Cala de Finestrat, the Cala de Villajoyosa and the coast of Benidorm form a harmonious trio of Mediterranean beauty that intertwines with subtlety, offering an experience where nature and coastal charm seduce the visitor.

La Cala de Finestrat is a haven of peace, a small golden bay embraced by gentle cliffs and bathed by serene turquoise waters. Its quiet and coquettish atmosphere makes it an ideal place to enjoy the sun in an intimate and relaxed environment, perfect for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle without sacrificing beauty.

Nearby, the Cala de Villajoyosa displays its authentic essence. Its sands caressed by the Mediterranean are framed by the colorful profile of its newly built houses very close to its traditional fishermen's houses, which seem to be painted with the light of the sunset. Here one breathes tradition, history and a peace that invites you to stroll along its shore while the waves whisper ancient secrets.

For its part, Benidorm, vibrant and cosmopolitan, stands as an iconic postcard where modernity blends with nature. Its majestic line of skyscrapers seems to dialogue with the infinite horizon of the sea, while its endless beaches of fine sand invite you to enjoy Mediterranean life in its fullness. At sunset, the bay is transformed into a spectacle of lights and golden reflections.

These three coastal jewels, united by their geographical proximity, offer a symphony of landscapes and emotions: from the peaceful serenity of Finestrat and Villajoyosa to the elegant dynamism of Benidorm, all irresistible in their own style, but connected by the pure essence of the Mediterranean.

In the heart of the Guadalest Valley, where the mountains whisper stories to the wind and the landscape is dressed in the colors of nature at its best, there are hidden treasures that only the hands of artisans can reveal. This corner of Alicante, framed by the villages of Gines, Castell de Guadalest, Benimantell, Beniardà, Benifato, El Abdet and Confrides, is a paradise where time seems to stand still to give the visitor the flavors and aromas of the authentic.

From its fertile lands are born natural products that are a hymn to health and well-being. The extra virgin olive oil, golden like the sun that caresses the centenary olive trees, is the soul of this region, with its pure flavor and its innumerable goodness. The almonds, sweet and nutritious, are transformed by expert hands into nougat and sweets that preserve ancestral traditions.

In the heights of these mountains, where the air is clean and fresh, aromatic herbs such as rosemary, thyme and sage grow freely, impregnating the landscape with their fragrance. These plants are not only essential in the local cuisine, but are also made into infusions that comfort the soul and strengthen the body.

The Guadalest Valley is also a land of honey, where bees buzz tirelessly among wild flowers, creating a golden elixir that sweetens life and strengthens health. And in the orchards, small and careful, sprout seasonal fruits such as figs, oranges and pomegranates, jewels that the sun ripens with care.

Each product born here is a reflection of its environment: pure, simple and full of life. In the Guadalest Valley, each village brings its unique essence, like notes in a symphony, composing a song to nature and the beauty of craftsmanship. It is a place where life is savored calmly, where the senses are awakened and the soul finds rest.

Along the winding road that connects Callosa d’en Sarrià with Alcoy, the ancient roadside inns stand as silent witnesses of time. These noble structures of stone and wood once served as sanctuaries for travelers, merchants, and wanderers crossing the mountains in search of new horizons. Within their walls still lingers the echo of lively conversations, the crackling of fires, and the unmistakable aroma of traditional stews that warmed the soul. They were havens of rest and hospitality, where the warmth of the fire intertwined with the kindness of their hosts. Today, many of these inns remain as remnants of a vibrant past, their presence evoking the charm of days when travel was an art and the road, a story waiting to be told. 

Benimantell, a hidden gem among the mountains of the Guadalest Valley, is a corner where nature and humanity have woven a landscape that seems a whisper of eternity. From the gaze of an artist like Joaquín Sorolla, this village would be more than a place: it would be a living palette of colors, light and sensations that evoke the very essence of Mediterranean life.

A landscape where light dances

Under the infinite sky of the Marina Baixa, Benimantell rises like a natural balcony, embraced by mountains that, at sunset, are tinged with ochre and golden tones. Its streets, winding and serene, seem traced by the hand of time, while the facades of its houses, whitewashed and crowned by red tile roofs, reflect the sunlight with an almost spiritual purity.

The surrounding vegetation - almond trees in bloom, centuries-old olive trees and pines bending to the wind - offers a poetic contrast to the deep blue of the sky. In spring, the fields are filled with a gently undulating tapestry of flowers, as if the land breathes art in every breeze.

A village stopped in harmony

Benimantell is a village where the soul of tradition still throbs. In its squares, the murmur of water from the fountains accompanies the soft echo of footsteps, and on its terraces, laughter and conversations seem to envelop everything with a familiar and endearing air. Sorolla would have captured the reflection of the sun on the wet cobblestones after a drizzle, or the long shadow of a vine that protects from the heat those who share a summer afternoon.

The people and their land

The people of Benimantell, with their warm and sincere hospitality, are the vibrant soul of this place. Their hands, tanned by their work in the fields, and their faces, illuminated by the pride of their heritage, would have been for Sorolla the embodiment of the dignity of those who live in harmony with the land. In their markets and homes, the colors of the local produce - olives, oranges, almonds and wine - are a tribute to the generosity of nature.

The time stopped in an eternal corner

In the eyes, Benimantell would not be just a village, but an eternal composition of light and color. Its landscapes would not only speak of what is seen, but of what is felt: the deep peace of a corner that has not forgotten the slow rhythm of the seasons or the communion between human beings and their environment. It is a place where the sun caresses the earth as the master's brush caresses the canvas, creating a work of art that invites you to linger, to contemplate and to dream.

Sella, a corner of eternal serenity, unfolds like a poem carved among the mountains, where time seems to stand still and the soul finds solace in the majesty of the landscape. Its white and cobblestone streets meander with the softness of a stream, letting the traveler discover, step by step, the authentic essence of this town that breathes history and nature in perfect harmony.

Located at the foot of the imposing Sierra de Aitana, Sella and its surroundings are intertwined in an eternal embrace with the summit, like two souls destined to exist together. The Aitana, sovereign and solemn, raises her figure towards the sky, tenderly guarding this town that rests in her lap. From its heights, the pure, fresh air perfumes the landscape, and the views become an open window to infinity: green valleys, golden ravines and the horizon where the land meets the Mediterranean Sea in a distant whisper.

“Sella is a refuge where nature expresses itself in a low voice: the murmur of crystalline springs gushing among the stones, the song of birds gliding free in the sky and the murmur of the wind combing the almond and olive trees centuries old.”

Its trails, gently ascending to the summit of the Aitana, are an invitation to get lost and find yourself. At every step, the landscape is transformed, giving small wonders: a natural balcony where the world seems to fall silent, the scent of wild herbs dancing in the sun and the play of light and shadows that the clouds cast on the mountains.

Sella and Aitana are not just a destination, but a perpetual romance between man and nature. From the central square of the village, where the calm invites you to sit and listen to the passing of time, to the paths that lead to the peaks, everything in Sella breathes a serene, elegant and profound beauty.

“Here, where the mountain and the village embrace each other tenderly, life happens in its purest form. Sella is the calm of a sunrise among the peaks, the golden gleam of the sun on the white walls and the whisper of the wind coming down from Aitana, reminding us that true beauty lies in the simple, in the eternal, in the natural.”

Relleu, with its authentic atmosphere and its welcoming people, invites you to rest, to get lost among its paths and to rediscover the beauty of simplicity. It is a refuge for those who seek to escape from the noise and find a corner where time is measured in the whisper of the wind among the olive trees and the leisurely flight of birds over the mountains.

Here, every stone, every tree and every path seems to tell a story of calm and beauty. Relleu is not visited: it is felt, breathed and kept in the heart as a place where nature and soul speak the same language.

Campello and its Coast: A Refuge of Mediterranean Enchantment

Campello is a small coastal paradise that unhurriedly unfolds on the shores of the Mediterranean, embraced by the serenity of the sea and the warmth of its people. Its coast, an Eden of simple and dazzling landscapes, invites reflection and the enjoyment of natural beauty in its purest form.

The calm waters, of a deep blue that comes and goes with the softness of a caress, stretch before a line of golden sand that curves gently towards the horizon. Here, every sunrise is a work of art, where the first rays of sunlight stain the sea and the sky with soft, romantic tones. The waves whisper secrets of yesteryear and the wind, laden with salt and freshness, perfumes the air, making everything feel slower, closer.

The promenade of Campello is a perfect place to get lost in time, where every corner invites you to pause and admire the view. Among palm trees and quiet corners, cafes and terraces fill with life, offering exquisite local gastronomy while the sun slowly sets on the horizon, dyeing the sea golden and orange.

Along its coastline, secluded coves with crystal-clear waters and small beaches of fine sand offer the perfect refuge for those seeking tranquility and pure beauty. The seascape, adorned with gentle mountains emerging from the water, creates a unique environment, ideal for exploration and relaxation.

Campello is much more than a tourist destination: it is an invitation to experience the sea in a profound way, to breathe its air and let yourself be enveloped by its calm. Every corner of its coastline, from the picturesque beach of Muchavista to the quiet bay of La Coveta Fumá, tells a story of simplicity and elegance, perfect for those seeking to escape the hectic pace of everyday life and immerse themselves in the serenity of the Mediterranean.

The Klein-Schreuder Foundation Open Air Museum, nestled in the heart of Alfaz del Pi, is a poem sculpted in stone, metal and nature. This artistic paradise, where human creativity merges with the serenity of the Mediterranean environment, is a space that invites the soul to pause and contemplate beauty in its purest form.

Surrounded by carefully designed gardens, the museum is not only a showcase of contemporary artworks, but a constant dialogue between the sculptures and their surroundings. Walking along its meandering paths, one encounters pieces that seem to breathe to the rhythm of the pines and olive trees that guard them. The sculptures, some abstract and others figurative, tell stories of human emotions, dreams and passions, while the murmur of the wind and birdsong add a natural soundtrack to the experience.

Each work seems to have found its perfect place among the vegetation, as if it was born to be there. From curved, organic forms that evoke the folds of nature to geometric structures that defy the rigidity of the material, each piece reflects the ingenuity and sensitivity of the artists who have contributed to the museum.

The atmosphere is deeply romantic, ideal to lose oneself in shared or solitary reflections. Here, art is not limited to being observed, but is lived, breathed, felt. It is a place that reminds us that beauty can be found in the simplest details, and that the human soul always finds ways to express itself, even in silence.

Visiting the Klein-Schreuder Foundation Open Air Museum is not just a walk through art; it is an invitation to reconnect with the very essence of creation, surrounded by a setting that seems to have been painted by nature itself. 

Alfaz del Pi, with its peaceful soul and warm character, emerges between orange groves and olive trees, where the aroma of the earth mingles with the sweet scent of almond blossoms. The name itself evokes roots and time: “pi”, the pine tree that watches from its height, perennial symbol of strength and shelter. The village gently glides towards the sea, like a lover seeking the comfort of the waves, leaving behind the traces of a past of calm and tradition.

The Barranco de la Encantada, nestled in the heart of Planes, Alicante, is a place where nature and legend intertwine in a breathtaking symphony of beauty and mystery. This enchanted ravine, carved by the gentle yet relentless touch of water over centuries, is a sanctuary of crystal-clear pools, cascading waterfalls, and rugged cliffs adorned with lush greenery.

As the sunlight filters through the trees, it casts golden reflections upon the water, creating an ethereal glow that feels almost otherworldly. The murmur of the stream whispers ancient tales—stories of love, longing, and magic—echoing the legend of the Moorish maiden who, it is said, still wanders these lands under the moon’s silver embrace.

Each step through this dreamlike landscape awakens a sense of wonder, as if stepping into the pages of a forgotten fairy tale. The Barranco de la Encantada is not just a place; it is an experience—an invitation to lose oneself in the beauty of the wild, to breathe in the poetry of nature, and to believe, if only for a moment, in the magic that lingers in the air.

“The Summit of the Sun is a living canvas,

where the light overflows in golden cascades,

embracing the warm rock and the restless foam.

The sea whispers in infinite blues,

and the sky, in its purity, kisses the earth.

It is a corner where the soul is clothed in clarity,

and every shadow is caress, every sparkle, poetry of the soul.”

On my visit to the Cumbre del Sol the silence was not silence: it was a constant whisper of the sea, an intimate conversation between land and water. I sat on Dalias Avenue and let time pass unhurriedly, while the light played with my thoughts and turned the everyday into something sacred.

I never imagined that a place could return my gaze with such intensity. At the Cumbre del Sol I not only saw the landscape: I felt part of it, like another brushstroke in a living, immense and serene painting. And I knew, without the need for words, that I had found a corner of the world where the soul can stay and contemplate... and stay a little longer.

Thank you always Cumbre del Sol_Benitachel_Costa Blanca_Spain

Jalón is a corner where nature unfolds its most serene splendor. Here, the light delicately rests on the vines and almond trees, caressing the branches and turning each petal into a pink and white sparkle, as if spring itself had surrendered to the beauty of this place. The valley breathes calm and elegance, a whisper of life in soft tones, where time is diluted between the sweet scent of flowers and the melodic song of the wind.

The mountains that frame the valley are solemn guardians, tinged with ocher and blue, guarding a corner where you can still breathe peace.

The image transports us to the heart of the tradition of Xaló, where the past wears its best clothes. Under the soft light of the room, a majestic typical costume stands out for its elegance and detail. The embroidered skirt in shades of maroon and white shimmers with a delicate symmetry of lace that evokes the wefts of history and manual art passed down from generation to generation. The blouse with puffed sleeves, carefully adorned, is cinched with a corset that slims the figure with sophistication.

The costume, worthy of solemn celebrations, is accompanied by handcrafted jewelry that adds a distinguished and timeless touch, shimmering like little golden whispers of yesteryear. Next to it, carefully displayed accessories complete the ensemble, among which an elegant embroidered shawl and contrasting colorful shoes stand out, evoking the festive joy of the region.

All of this is framed by a noble wooden display case that protects this valuable cultural legacy, a romantic symbol of a land that, through its traditional clothing, keeps alive its essence and its Mediterranean soul.

Llíber, a whisper between green valleys,

where the vineyards draw verses of emerald.

White houses rest under the sun,

and the streets, like rivers of calm,

keep the echo of serene times.

It is a corner where nature and the soul

intertwine in an eternal embrace,

sweet and simple, like a sunrise that never forgets.

The honey of the Guadalest valley,

a golden elixir born from the embrace between the

the wild flower and the song of the sun.

Its sweetness keeps the essence of the earth,

healing and pure, like a whisper of time.

From it are born ointments, soaps and nectars,

natural remedies that nourish the body

and caress the spirit with eternal goodness.

The National Police, known by its distinctive 091 emergency number, is an institution that embodies dedication and commitment to the safety and welfare of Spanish cities. Its presence, always close and professional, is an essential pillar for coexistence and harmonious development in urban environments.

With comprehensive and specialized training, the 091 agents perform a multifaceted work that goes beyond the prevention and prosecution of crime. They are guardians of peace and order, but also support and assistance figures for citizens in emergency situations.

The 091 symbolizes much more than a number; it represents an ongoing commitment to the tranquility of neighborhoods, the protection of rights and the defense of freedoms. The members of this police force, with their professional character and friendly manner, embody the essence of a society that values mutual respect, justice and security as fundamental pillars of community life.

In short, the 091 National Police not only maintains order in the cities, but also actively contributes to making them spaces where people can develop their lives with the certainty of being protected and protected under the shadow of an institution that combines excellence, dignity and service.

112, Spain's Emergency Service, represents one of the noblest and most effective expressions of the State's commitment to the safety and well-being of its citizens. More than a telephone number, it is a symbol of hope and help, a lifesaving network that unites an entire country under the common purpose of protecting lives.

Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, 112 is a symphony of coordination and speed, designed to respond with precision to any emergency, be it an accident, a fire, a health emergency or a natural disaster.

This service transcends geographical and linguistic barriers, guaranteeing an immediate response in any corner of Spain. From the most remote mountains to the heart of large cities, 112 is an invisible but omnipresent presence, ready to act when it is needed most. Its advanced technology and highly trained personnel are the soul of a system that operates with a single goal: to save lives and minimize the impact of any adversity.

112 not only acts as a channel for help, but also as a catalyst for hope in times of uncertainty. Its existence offers peace of mind to citizens, reminding them that they are never alone, no matter the magnitude of the emergency or the distance that separates them from help.

At its core, 112 is more than an emergency service; it is a bulwark of solidarity and humanity, a testament to how an organized society can mobilize to protect the most precious thing: life. Its contribution, discreet but invaluable, is a fundamental pillar of Spain's social fabric, raising its value as an emblem of efficiency, commitment and collective care.

Sax, a picturesque enclave in the heart of Alicante, rises majestically under the watchful eye of its castle, a fortress that seems to emerge from the rocks as an eternal guardian of time and memory. This place, marked by history and wrapped in a halo of romanticism, evokes epics and legends that intertwine with nature and the soul of those who visit it.

The castle of Sax, imposing and haughty, crowns a rock that stands as a symbol of the indomitable character of the land of Alicante. Its walls, witnesses of conquests and defenses, whisper stories of Moors and Christians, of alliances and battles, while the wind that caresses its battlements seems to sing ancient songs. From above, the landscape unfolds like a canvas of fertile valleys and golden horizons, a spectacle that invites you to get lost in the dreams of a glorious past.

Sax is part of the Route of the Cid Campeador, an epic journey that follows in the footsteps of that medieval hero whose deeds have fed the Spanish imagination for centuries. In this context, the town becomes a vibrant chapter of the Cidian narrative, a place where history takes on a life of its own and the chivalric essence resonates in every stone and in every corner.

Walking through Sax is like entering a poem of yesteryear, where every step reveals a verse full of beauty and nostalgia. Its castle, unperturbed by the passage of time, is the soul of this idyllic corner, a promise of eternity that inspires and enamors the visitor.

Orito, a discreet jewel nestled in the vicinity of Monforte del Cid, is a place where the essence of time seems to be suspended. This corner of Alicante, with its serene and charming air, combines the authenticity of its past with the magic of the nature that surrounds it, offering its visitors an experience that goes beyond the tangible.

Its streets, with simple lines but full of character, shelter centuries-old stories that whisper in the ears of those who stop to listen. Surrounded by mountains that seem to embrace it with tenderness, Orito becomes a refuge for the soul, where the murmur of the wind and the aroma of the earth awaken the senses with an intensity forgotten in the urban routine.

One cannot speak of Orito without mentioning its spirituality, deeply rooted in the devotion to San Pascual. Its sanctuary, erected on the hillside, is not only a place of pilgrimage, but also a space of introspection and peace, where visitors find a link between the divine and the earthly.

Orito is not only a place, it is a poem that is recited while walking along its paths, a sigh that escapes while contemplating its landscapes, a melody that remains in the heart of those who have the privilege of discovering it. In its simplicity lies a beauty that transcends time and space, turning it into a dreamy corner that invites you to stay, if only for an eternal moment.

Polop, a small Eden nestled between mountains and sky, looks like a corner torn from Azorín's dreams, where every stone and every street murmur timeless stories. There, the pure air mixes with the scent of damp earth and the whisper of water flowing from ancient fountains, as if time had decided to stop to honor stillness and beauty.

From its core, the old town ascends in a labyrinth of cobblestone streets, crowned by a church that, like a beacon of serenity, watches over the ochre rooftops and treetops. At the foot of the village, the Font dels Xorros sings with its crystalline voice, a liquid poem that Azorín would have described as “a fresh echo of the mountains, a caress to the thirst of the walker”.

The landscape that embraces Polop is a tapestry of centenary olive trees, slender pines and almond trees that, in spring, light up the horizon with their white and pink blossom, “like a sigh of snow that rests on the warmth of the earth”. Beyond, the mountains rise with discreet majesty, silent guardians of this town that breathes authenticity and melancholy.

In Polop, every corner is a painting, every corner a verse. It is a place where nature and man have woven a subtle pact, a refuge for those seeking tranquility, a corner where words become unnecessary because the soul understands the language of beauty. Azorín would have found here not only inspiration, but also answers, and perhaps a piece of eternity.

Agres, a haven of calm among the mountains,

where time is lulled to sleep in its stone streets.

The air, perfumed with rosemary and almond,

caresses the senses with its purity.

Its church and sanctuary rise like verses to the sky,

surrounded by hills that whisper ancient secrets.

Every sunrise in Agres is a poem of light,

where the soul finds its refuge

and the heart is wrapped in the magic of the eternal.
