About Alicante >This is an area in which there are reminders of bygone times seemingly at every turn, from primitive agricultural-themed cave paintings dating from around 6,000BC, through sites of ancient Iberian settlements, to Moorish watchtowers and annual fiestas in which battles between Moros y Cristianos (Moors and Christians) are re-enacted. The influence of the Moors endures to this day, reflected in the architecture and place names such as Benissalim and Benimassot. The benign Mediterranean climate means that spring arrives early here, heralded by the delicate pink and white blossom of the almond groves in February and March, a truly beautiful sight to behold. This is followed between March and June by spectacular displays of the flowers which thrive in this striking limestone landscape, including lime-loving orchids such as the showy Limodorum abortivum and the more discreet Epipactis microphylla, as well as Spanish foxgloves and vivid yellow phlomis lychnitis.

Just twenty-five kilometres from the Costa Blanca, as the crow flies, rise the secret mountains of Alicante. This is another world completely, where terraced slopes, dotted with small villages, climb towards craggy limestone peaks that soar over a thousand metres into the sky. Life here moves at a slower pace, and the authentic mountain villages are the ideal place to experience New Year Spanish style. Spend your days exploring the many paths which reveal dramatic gorges, almond orchards and panoramic ridges – we provide route notes and a hire car with which to explore.
