Staying in inland Alicante: villages, rural accommodation and rewarding days
Inland Alicante makes accommodation part of the journey: breakfast in a village, a castle visit, an encounter with a craft or a walk before an unhurried lunch. It is not one uniform landscape or simply a fallback when you do not want the beach. Biar and the Vinalopó, the Alcoy and Cocentaina area, and the Guadalest valley offer different starting points. Choosing with a purpose matters more than finding an isolated house from a photograph of its pool.
