From magnificent mountains to beautiful beaches, the Marina Alta area of s.e. Spain has everything to offer.

£280 a week, all year round
No additional charges

The landscape of the Marina Alta is blessed with miles of unspoilt beaches at the pleasant coastal towns of Denia, Calpe, Moraira and Javea, and wonderful rugged mountain vistas. Slightly inland can be found the traditionally beautiful Jalon and Orba valleys, a green paradise with a wealth of citrus, almond and olive trees and a carpet of vines producing wine for the award-winning bodegas where samples are freely available!
From the finca it is a 20 min drive down the valley to the market town of Jalon where there is a fruit & veg market on a Tuesday & a large rastro/flea market on Saturday mornings.

Two kilometres from the apartment, in this area called Pla de Petracos, there are ancient cave paintings said to have been painted over 5000 years ago. Caves at the archaeological site have a viewing platform, and the paintings are explained on six interpretive panels.

Natural wonders of the area include the striking pink and white almond blossom, orange blossom scent, abundant wild flowers and butterflies, eagles, bee-eaters, nightingales and much, much more.
