You can start your journey in Denia, the capital of the Costa Blanca, known for its wonderful beaches, and also for its festivities, which we must underline “bous a la mar” a celebration where the braveness of both bull, man and sea are the main attractions.

You can then drive over the natural wildlife Park of Montgó with its stunning views to the walled town of Javea, with a full calendar of fiestas, three kings parade (January), carnival parade (February), sardines funeral (March), hogueras (June),……

It´s not possible to talk about Valencia without mentioning “Las Fallas” between the 15th – 19th March, an event where people come from all over the world to admire these magnificent papier-mâché statues that are placed all over the city.

It is a fiesta which is also renowned for its “Mascleta” (bangers in the main square), firework displays, and then the burning of the papier-mâché statues, where the main attraction is the fire. These fiestas have been declared an International Tourist Attraction.

If you take the route to Alicante, you will come to the town of Altea. Its tranquil and serene setting has made it a haven for painters and craftsmen, with their shops dotted along the streets of the old town.

Alicante is the land of fiestas and traditions. One of the biggest celebrations is the Carnaval parade at the end of February, where the people of the city dress-up and fill the streets up with lights, colour and laughter.
The biggest fiesta is on the 24th June, the night of San Juan, a festivity where the protagonists are effigies made of papier-mâché, and are then burnt.
Another place that should be included in the itinerary is Orba, a small typical Spanish village, 18 km inland from Denia, where you can buy presents or souvenirs for the family or friends, as it is the biggest pottery and ceramic producer on the Costa Blanca.

Along this same route on the Costa Blanca you can relax and enjoy the exquisite scenery over the orange groves in Rafol de Almunia, a small Spanish village of 400 inhabitants.

And last but not least, a must to visit is the famous “Rastro” (Antique fair) held every Saturday morning in Jalon, where you can also taste the famous wines and “Mistela” (sweet wines) of this region.
