Productos de la Costa Blanca: Inland

Costa Blanca > Inland

The inland areas of the Costa Blanca conceal some of the most beautiful and captivating countryside of Spain’s Mediterranean region. There is a wealth of beautiful landscape, full of contrasts between the valleys and mountain areas, the historical remains of different civilisations and culinary traditions as well as crafts and festivals that you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

Inland, the province has different landscapes where you can see real Mediterranean countryside: mountains soaring to 1,500 metres, secluded valleys, ravines, caves and fertile agricultural areas devoted to vineyards and other crops, such as almonds, olives, cherries and loquats.

Archaeological sites, monuments such as castles, fortresses, churches and palaces, as well as more popular buildings such as the masías (farmhouses), riu-raus, (raisin stores), neveros (ice stores), acequias (irrigation channels), aljibes (cisterns), and lavaderos (washing places), are all part of the legacy of bygone civilisations.
