Reasons to visit Jalón

Located just 20 kilometers from Denia and a little more than 70 from Alicante, the town of Jalón is one of the most undiscovered yet peaceful spots along the entire Mediterranean Costa Blanca. There are many reasons to visit Jalón, but primarily it is its proximity to the coast and its good climate that make it the perfect getaway—the reason to rent a house and spend a few days in this very special corner of the Valencian Community.

An Enchanting Village

Jalón, which is home to barely 3,000 residents, hides numerous charms worth discovering. Originally formed by a cluster of Arab farmhouses, it is situated on a plain. Visiting Jalón involves hiking through its surrounding hills, renowned for their great natural beauty. For example, the Bernia, Ferrer, or Peña de la Mica ranges.

The lands of Jalón are rich in history. After its conquest by Jaume I, its streets were repopulated by people from the islands of Palma and Ibiza, and the new old town was established alongside the river. Its old and Mediterranean atmosphere gives it a special charm and is one of the main reasons to visit Jalón and get lost in its historic center.

Renting for Vacation

Renting a house in Jalón means enjoying the calm and tranquil climate of this municipality. Its main attractions include the Molino del Agua, the Santa María Church, the Paseo de los Hermanamientos, the Bassa dels Arcs, and the Ermita de Santo Domingo. Additionally, La Chopada is a picturesque corner of the town where a legendary market is held every Saturday in the area.

But what sets Jalón apart are its numerous routes. Its trails are some of its greatest attractions and one of the main reasons to visit Jalón. For example, the Martorell route, from the family of the author of Tirant lo Blanch, or the route of the wells, ancient springs that have traversed the town. Also, the Figueretes route or the Azagador trail, located near the historic center, which explores the streets in Mudéjar style, making visiting Jalón a unique and captivating experience.
