It is here in the northern part of the Costa Blanca you will find more beautiful and traditional Spanish villages, which have stood the test of time. The people who live here stick to their traditions and local customs religiously so siesta time is still important to them, as it has been for many decades.

Even though the town remains pretty much the same as it has for many centuries now it does offer you some superb shopping and places to eat. There is also an indoor market, which provides the town with the same kind of atmosphere that you would expect in Nice. But be warned this town enjoys its fiestas and they occur on a regular basis the main and biggest one of all being the Hogueras de San Juan which takes place in late June each year.
Another place to look for villas is in the Orba Valley that you need to travel further inland to. But here there are some really atmospheric villages and towns where it seems as if time has stood still. In these villages, you will find the old men sitting out on the streets playing dominoes, and the only time you are likely to spot a woman is if you look up towards their balconies where they will be hanging the washing out.
But whether you select a holiday home on the Costa Blanca coast or further inland you will find something that suits your requirements perfectly.
