Beauty of the Jalon Valley The Valley of Jalon, also known as the Valle del Pop, represents one of the most attractive areas in the Alicante Province. A landscape of ancient olive, almond and orange groves mixed with vineyards and handcrafted terraces, with simply breath-taking panoramic views over the deep pink almond blossom to the Mediterranean. |

|
The towns that form the Valley are:- Murla, Benichembla, Parcent, Alcalali, Jalon and Lliber. There are many things that unite these towns:- the gastronomy, the local fiestas, and 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 and the enjoyment of nature. The valley consists of a combination of large flat areas of vines and almonds, which contrast against the wildness of the mountains surrounding them. With it's excellent weather and environment, it is an ideal place to rest with few crowds, yet with excellent amenities. |

| Nestled at the foot of the Valley, renowned for its local wine, is the small Spanish town of Jalon (Xaló), with a variety of café-bars, restaurants, and bodegas. The blue glazed terracotta dome of the church sits high above the square, visible for miles around. | |
| Jalon is internationally known for the production of table wine, the famous mistela, home made sausages, and the fine selection of pastry and sweets. It is obligatory to visit the famous rastro or flee market, which takes place each Saturday and is one of the biggest on the Costa Blanca. | |
|
If you are looking for a taste of the classical traditional Spanish lifestyle away from high rise buildings and mass tourism ... look no further! The peace of the mountains is regal, but not far away is the temptation of the Costa Blanca coast. So bear in mind you are only 20 minutes away from Denia or Morairia, and you could be on the beach at Calpe in less than 15 minutes. |
