There is such a variety of property for sale in Spain, so if you are looking for a more traditional environment, Hamiltons Real Estate can help you find your perfect property for sale in the beautiful Jalon Valley on the Northern Costa Blanca.
Many estate agents in Spain concentrate on the coastal towns, but Hamiltons Real Estate can also offer properties for sale in the countryside of inland Costa Blanca, including the Jalon Valley, where buyers often find more property for their money. New urbanisations provide modern townhouses and apartments that have been sympathetically built to complement the area's traditional villas and fincas (country houses), allowing buyers to enjoy modern comforts whilst preserving the valley's authentic Spanish character.
The Jalon Valley is also known as the Vall de Pop. There are nine towns and villages within the valley: Alcalalí, Benigembla, Benissa, Castell de Castells, Llíber, Murla, Parcent, Senija and Jalón (Xaló), each offering its own traditional Spanish charm and welcoming atmosphere.
This beautiful inland valley is surrounded by the Sierra de Bèrnia mountains and picturesque countryside filled with vineyards, almond groves, olive trees and citrus orchards. During the winter, the mountain peaks are occasionally dusted with snow, whilst the Mediterranean resorts of Calpe, Benissa Costa, Moraira, Jávea and Dénia are all within an easy drive.
One of the valley's best-known attractions is the spectacular almond blossom that covers the landscape in shades of pink and white during late winter and early spring. Throughout the year, every village celebrates traditional fiestas including Moors and Christians, local patron saint festivals, bull-running events and celebrations of the area's famous Moscatel grape harvest and wine production.
Your choice of property in the Jalon Valley will depend upon your family's requirements, with homes available to suit a wide range of lifestyles and budgets. Whether you are searching for a traditional finca, a detached villa, a townhouse or an apartment, there are opportunities throughout the valley.
Families benefit from local schools, whilst residents enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities including walking, hiking, cycling, mountain biking and horse riding. Alternatively, you can simply immerse yourself in authentic Spanish village life, enjoying communal paellas, traditional dancing, local bands, fiestas and spectacular firework displays. Whatever your requirements, the Hamiltons Real Estate team can help you find your perfect property in Jalón, known locally as Xaló.
Every town and village, regardless of size, offers local shops, banks, supermarkets, cafés, bars and restaurants. Every Saturday, Jalón hosts its famous Rastro, one of the Costa Blanca's best-known flea markets, where visitors browse antiques, collectables, artisan products and local produce alongside the River Jalón.
Benissa, located at the entrance to the valley, is one of the area's largest and most historic towns. Its annual San Antonio Fair originally centred around livestock trading and agricultural machinery but today includes the traditional blessing of the animals, exhibitions, classic vehicles and a varied programme of cultural and sporting events.
The Patron Saints' Fiesta, celebrated during the fourth weekend of April, begins with the crowning of the Fiesta Queen. Visitors can enjoy marching bands, horseback processions, bull-running events, fireworks and the Day of the Riberero, which commemorates agricultural workers who travelled to the rice harvests. Like many towns throughout the Costa Blanca, Benissa also celebrates the colourful Moors and Christians festival, recreating an important chapter of Spanish history.
These traditions, together with the area's welcoming communities, beautiful countryside and relaxed pace of life, continue to attract buyers searching for villas, fincas, apartments and townhouses in the Jalon Valley.
