The Valley of Jalon, also known as the Valle del Pop, represents one of the most attractive areas in the Alicante Province. The towns that form the Valley are:- Murla, Benichembla, Parcent, Alcalali, Jalon & Lliber. There are many things that unite these towns:- the gastronomy, the local fiestas & the Jalon River which runs through them. There is a wide range of activities in this area (walking, cycling, bird watching, tourist routes etc) that combine adventure, history & the enjoyment of nature. The valley consists of a combination of large flat areas of vines & almonds, which contrast against the wildness of the mountains surrounding them. With it's excellent weather & environment, it is an ideal place to rest with few crowds, yet with excellent amenities. Jalon, the main town of the valley, is internationally known for the production of table wine, the famous mistela, home made sausages & the fine selection of pastry & sweets. It is obligatory to visit the famous rastro or flea market which takes place each Saturday & is one of the biggest on the Costa Blanca. The closest beach is Moraira, about 15 minutes drive away. The nearest airport is Alicante, which is approximately 50 minutes drive to the south. |
