EDITORIAL GUIDE · Festivals & traditions
In La Vila Joiosa, also known as Villajoyosa, the festival looks out to sea. Its Moors and Christians celebrations honour Saint Martha, with the Desembarc providing a distinctive scene: the festive enactment moves from the water towards the beach.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Festivals & traditions
In Elche, heritage is also sung. The Misteri d'Elx, or La Festa, is a sacred musical drama connected with the Basilica of Santa María and the community that keeps it alive. Preparing your visit helps you understand its language and experience it with attention.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Culture & heritage
Villena, Biar and Petrer offer a trip through fortresses, old streets and inland scenery. This selection is a starting point for exploring the castles of the Vinalopó at your own pace: better to visit a few properly than see many only from the car.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Culture & heritage
El Castell de Guadalest brings together rock, fortification and domestic life in a place that rewards a slow walk. The valley views draw the eye, but the village's buildings and stories deserve attention too, rather than reducing the visit to a photograph of the reservoir.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Local legends
The notch in Puig Campana invites storytelling. One popular tradition connects this Finestrat mountain with Benidorm Island through a giant and a love threatened by sunset. It is a landscape legend with different versions, not a geological explanation or a documented historical episode.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Local legends
Below Santa Bárbara Castle, the rocky outline of Mount Benacantil resembles a face. Popularly called the Cara del Moro, or Moor's Face, it has inspired tales of impossible love. The silhouette belongs to the landscape; its accompanying stories belong to popular tradition and exist in different versions.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Food & wine
A shared rice dish can become the centrepiece of a day in Alicante. Local cooking brings together fish, seafood, vegetables and inland traditions: give lunch its own place between exploring the city and spending an afternoon beside the sea.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Food & wine
Eating in Dénia helps explain the city's relationship with the sea and the Marina Alta countryside. Its UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy status invites you to look beyond a single restaurant and explore local produce, markets and food traditions too.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Food & wine
Wine country opens another door into Alicante: cultivated landscapes, inland towns and conversations at a winery. Vinalopó offers the ingredients for an unhurried escape in which the surrounding countryside matters just as much as what is in the glass.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Beaches & coves
Guardamar del Segura offers a spacious, light-filled way to enjoy the Mediterranean. Its beaches range from the atmosphere of the seafront promenade to stretches backed by dunes and woodland, with different access arrangements and facilities to consider before choosing your spot.
