If there is one thing the province of Alicante is known for, it is for offering a large number of alternatives in terms of inland tourism. A good example of this is Guadalest.<\/p>\n

A village nestled in this province bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, with a population of barely 200 inhabitants and with characteristics that make it unique. Not in vain, once you are there, and this has happened to some of our colleagues from Victoria Cars, you will believe that you have returned to medieval times.<\/p>\n

Let’s get to know some of its history<\/h2>\n

We will be brief. To know the origin of this little corner we have to go back to the 11th century. At that time, in the middle of the Muslim period, the Alcozaiba Fortress was built around which a large number of livestock farmers and farmers settled.<\/p>\n

Later, in the 13th century, Jaime I incorporated it into the kingdom of Valencia. From then on, over the years, there have been several important episodes that have taken place in this area, but the region has never moved out of the Valencian Community.<\/p>\n

What do you want to see in Guadalest?<\/h2>\n

It seems incredible but in such a small area there are so many things you can see. So, without further ado, let’s start our particular route.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the views of the valley of Guadalest<\/h2>\n

Its privileged location makes it possible to contemplate, in all its splendour, this spectacular valley. A set of mountains in which the Sierra de Aitana stands out and which is a unique way to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the daily routine.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the Guadalest valley is a perfect excuse for all those hikers who want to be in contact with nature during their route.<\/p>\n

The castle walls<\/h2>\n

As it could not be otherwise, everything that has to do with the Castle of Guadalest, is susceptible to be contemplated. However, in Victoria Cars, because that is what our colleagues can testify, we believe that the walls deserve a special mention.<\/p>\n

Built by the Muslims, these rock walls were a natural defence against possible enemy attacks. A set of rocks that is still in very good condition today and that give a good account of the engineering of the time.<\/p>\n

The extensive cultural heritage of Guadalest is a real luxury.<\/h2>\n

Here we would like to make a slightly longer stop. Although it is true that the castle is the main attraction of Guadalest, it is no less true that in this small village we can find other places worth visiting.<\/p>\n
