Pego

Pego combines fertile wetland plains with rugged limestone slopes in a way that reflects its position between the Marjal de Pego-Oliva Natural Park and the mountains of northern Alicante. The town lies inland from the Costa Blanca, while the marshlands to the east are fed by the Bullent and Racons rivers and form an important Valencian wetland area. Rice has long been grown in this low-lying landscape, linking local cooking and farming to the waterlogged fields. In the old centre, the Church of the Assumption is a prominent element of Pego’s urban heritage. Carnival also shapes the annual calendar, particularly the well-attended Carnestoltes celebrations.
