This region near Alicante is not as well known by tourists as the coastline, but it has nothing to envy. It hides landscapes, traditions and ancient civilisations that left their legacy.
Its spectacular nature lies in the surrounding countryside, with ascending and descending curves that allow you to contemplate the beauty of villages as Sax, Biar and Bocairent, and natural parks. Many of these small towns were conquered by the Arabs, who built castles on the rock at the highest point.
With your camera ready to take pictures, you will be amazed by everything you see on this scenic route! You'll even get to taste some of the typical products that are very popular at Christmas time.
