Xalo: Serra de Bèrnia - Serra del Ferrer - Callosa d'en Sarrià
Few places in the Valencian Community have a history as closely tied to irrigated farming as Callosa d’en Sarrià. Set in the Marina Baixa inland from the Costa Blanca, the town lies beside the Algar River, where orchards have long shaped the cultivated valley. Its best-known crop is the níspero, or loquat: Nísperos de Callosa d’en Sarrià hold a protected designation of origin, linking local producers to a fruit central to the town’s identity. The nearby limestone ridges of Serra de Bèrnia and Serra del Ferrer give this part of Alicante Province a rugged profile. Callosa’s compact centre and agricultural land form a marked contrast with the coastal resorts of the wider Costa Blanca.

Tucked along the Jalón River in the Vall de Pop, Xaló is a place whose character is shaped by vineyards and a dry Mediterranean climate. Set inland in Alicante province’s Marina Alta district, the town is enclosed by limestone hills and cultivated terraces rather than the nearby coast. Muscat grapes have long been central to local farming, and the area is known for mistela, a sweet wine traditionally made from them. Xaló’s Saturday rastro market adds a lively weekly ritual to its compact streets, drawing browsers for antiques, crafts and household finds.

The Valencian Community has served as a Mediterranean cultural crossroads within eastern Spain since the Middle Ages. Its coastline on the Balearic Sea extends from the Costa del Azahar to the Costa Blanca, while the Turia and Júcar rivers cross fertile plains inland. Valencia, the regional capital, was the centre of the medieval Kingdom of Valencia, founded in 1238, and preserves the Silk Exchange, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Rice cultivation around the Albufera lagoon informs local cooking, including paella, while the annual Fallas festivities fill Valencia with sculpture, fire and civic ritual.

Spain extends from the Cantabrian coast to the Canary Islands, encompassing Atlantic shores, Mediterranean beaches and the broad interior Meseta. The Pyrenees form its northeastern frontier, while the Guadalquivir crosses Andalusia on its way to the Atlantic. Madrid anchors the country’s political and cultural life, but distinct regional identities are central to Spain’s character: Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and Andalusia each have their own languages or strong local traditions. Granada’s Alhambra is a major monument of the medieval Nasrid dynasty, and Santiago de Compostela remains the destination of the Camino de Santiago.
