JALÓN VALLEI / VALL DE POP

Driving through this green valley, you pass numerous villages: Lliber, Jalón, Alcalalí, Parcent, Murla, Benichembla and Castel de Castells.
Pretty, winding little roads take you along vineyards, olive- and orange groves and almond trees.

There are lots of walks in the area and Casa Miralejos is situated on one of the many hiking routes. Especially in early spring, from February onwards, when the almond trees are in blossom, it attracts many ramblers.

One of the activities that you come across in the valley is climbing. The valley is very popular with climbers and the nearest climbing wall is less then a kilometre away.

For the cyclists though, this area is the “Eldorado”.  There is a special bar where one can enter by bike and in Jalon there is a Cycle Hire shop with professional equipment. There is a good chance that you will come across a professional club as this area is know to be used for training purposes. The “Col de Rates” is a good challenge for the experienced cyclist and this year (2019), the “Vuelta” will pass through the valley again.

The climate of the Costa Blanca lends itself as a fantastic place for golfers. These will have a big choice of golf clubs in the area, for example:
Club de Golf Ifach ( Moraira/Calpe)
Club de Golf Javea
Club de Golf La Sella (Denia)

For the holiday makers who would just enjoy relaxing, there is also enough to do. There are numerous terraces and the nearest beach is only a 20 min drive.

Jalon is known for its white wine and its sweet pudding wines: Moscatel and Mistella. There are several Bodega’s to visit.

On Saturdays, there is a big market and farmers market in Jalón, which attracts many people from the surrounding areas.

Our own little village Lliber is in the beginning of the Valley just 1 kilometer in front of Jalón. Lliber is an idyllic village with tiny streets and a lovely mayor square with a couple of inviting terraces under the trees. This square is within 10 minutes walk from Casa Miralejos.
