Bocairent: L’arc de Bocairent - Plaça de l'Ajuntament

Tucked into the slopes of the Serra Mariola, Bocairent is a town whose character is shaped by steep limestone terrain. Above its old quarter, the Covetes dels Moros form a striking cluster of man-made chambers and windows cut into a cliff; their original use remains debated, but they are among the town’s defining sights. Narrow lanes climb between stone houses towards the Church of the Assumption, while Bocairent’s bullring is notable for having been excavated from rock in the 19th century. The town lies within Serra Mariola Natural Park, an inland Alicante area of woodland and limestone ridges.

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.
