Tibi is a small peaceful village with white houses located between Maigmó, ´the balcony of Alicante´ and the Peña Roja. Due to its geographical situation it is an extremely interesting place for mountain tourism and for people seeking peace and walking trails. It is worth discovering the village on foot whilst strolling along its peaceful streets surrounded by a serene atmosphere. Though it is worth visiting at any time, the Major Fiestas held at the end of July in honour of Saint Mary Magdalene are an added attraction.
