"And you are always there to give me a hand in everything I do, that's the wonderful thing, the wonderful thing about you"
Guadalest Valley olive oil is much more than a food: it is a natural elixir that keeps in every drop the properties of a generous land and a privileged climate. Carefully extracted from centenary olive trees rooted in golden soils and bathed by the Mediterranean sun, this oil is a symbol of health, tradition and purity.
Its smooth and fruity flavor, with fresh notes that evoke the nature of the valley, not only delights the palate, but also nourishes the body and soul. Rich in natural antioxidants such as vitamin E and polyphenols, Guadalest extra virgin olive oil protects cells and fights aging, providing well-being from within.
Its healthy fats - monounsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid - are an irreplaceable ally for the heart. They help reduce “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and increase “good” cholesterol (HDL), favoring circulation and caring for the arteries gently, as only nature knows how to do.
In addition, its regular consumption strengthens the immune system, improves digestion and contributes to a more luminous and healthy skin, thanks to its ability to moisturize and regenerate from within. Each drop is a caress that reflects the purity of the valley's olive trees, worked with care and respect, as the tradition of this land dictates.
In the Guadalest Valley, where the air is pure and the mountains embrace the olive groves, the oil is obtained with artisanal methods that preserve its essence and properties. It is not just a product: it is a living heritage, a source of balance that connects human beings with natural wisdom.
“This oil, born from the sun, the earth and time, is a treasure of health and flavor. A natural medicine to be shared at every table, simple and sincere, like the warm embrace of the Mediterranean in the heart of the valley.”

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.
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 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.”
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.
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.
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.
The Sanctuary of Santa María Magdalena is a religious building of infinite architectural beauty, it is located in Novelda next to the Castle of La Mola. It was built from a project designed by the noveldense engineer José Sala Sala, with some inspiration in the modernist style of Antonio Gaudí.

The castle of Petrer stands majestically,
like a stone echo in the route of the Cid,
where heroism is intertwined with the poetry of time.
Its walls, worn by centuries of history,
whisper legends of battles and lost loves,
of nights lit by bonfires and hope.
From its towers, the horizon unfolds like an infinite tapestry of mountains.
like an infinite tapestry of mountains and fields,
a landscape that the Cid traveled through in his exile,
carrying dreams of honor and return.
Under his protection, the town rests,
a haven of calm where history and the present dance to the rhythm of the wind
dance to the rhythm of the wind that caresses the battlements.
The castle of Petrer not only keeps memory;
it is an eternal poem carved in living rock.
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.
