EDITORIAL GUIDE · Festivals & traditions
In June, Alicante invites a different kind of walk: one corner leads to a temporary monument and the next to a marching band. The Bonfires of Saint John are an invitation to notice details, understand the satire and share the atmosphere of the neighbourhoods.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Festivals & traditions
Music, parade formations and flowing costumes transform Alcoy's streets during its celebrations honouring Saint George. Arriving with an understanding of the events helps you enjoy more than a parade: a collective tradition at the heart of local life.
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.
