Whilst it is within easy driving distance of the coastal resorts as well as the airports of both Alicante and Valencia, Pego is a pretty and traditional Spanish town with a charming atmosphere blending history, culture and beautiful scenery. Its position away from the busier tourist towns also means it benefits from more affordable property prices and offers the chance to enjoy an idyllic way of life without being too remote.
Part of the charm for those who buy a home in Pego is the historic centre with its narrow roads and timeless architecture. The Plaza de la Constitución is the main square and is the centre of life in Pego. It is where people meet each other to go out for coffee or a meal, and it is where cultural events and festivals are hosted throughout the year. Many of the streets of Pego haven’t changed since medieval times, and some buildings are integrated with sections of the town's wall, and an old gate was once part of a Muslim fort. As with most towns in the area, it is watched over by a Castle or Medieval fort that can be explored and from where the area's beautiful scenery can be viewed.
Marjal de Pego-Oliva is an important nature reserve with rice fields and marshland, and is home to a variety of wildlife and offers great opportunities to indulge in birdwatching. This treasure of the Costa Blanca has lovely routes for walkers and cyclists to enjoy. Pego is also a good base for exploring the nearby mountain range, Sierra de Bernia, with its rugged terrain offering challenging hiking trails and panoramic views of the Mediterranean coast.
When you live in Pego, you soon be able to enjoy the relaxed pace of life and the benefits of living in Spain. The friendly locals will make you feel at home, and with excellent local amenities, schools and healthcare, as well as the great weather and fantastic fresh produce, your quality of life will feel generally improved.
The Ethnographic Museum in Pego displays tools and photographs marking life in the municipality, including the growth of rice crops cultivated in the surrounding marshland. Other agricultural trades, including those of the citrus orchards, are displayed, and the museum gives a wonderful insight into the farming tradition of the community. A more modern addition to the town is the Museum of Contemporary Art, which has six rooms displaying hyper-realistic, symbolist and abstract work. Both museums are housed in the Casa de Cultura, and the entrance is free.
If you are seeking a genuine flavour of Spain, buying a home in Pego would be a great choice. It has a welcoming atmosphere and, although traditional, embraces those who choose to make their home here from other parts of the world. The village enjoys many festivals during the year, which welcome all residents and celebrate local traditions and history, as well as showcasing the culinary delights of the region. For families who wish to move to Spain, they will find an environment that is warm, friendly and safe, where there are good schools and facilities for children of all ages. Just a short drive away from the coast, as well as several theme parks, it is a place that can easily be home for all age groups.
