you to take part in many of the traditions which have been
passed down through generations. There are many colourful
fiestas held throughout the year, which offer an unforgettable
experience and allow you to fully embrace the wonderful way
of life on the Costa Blanca.
The gastronomy of the area is of excellent quality, the
