Callosa d'en Sarrià Costa Blanca Spain (Tour)
Welcome to Callosa d'en Sarrià. This beautiful Valencian town is located in the heart of Valencia, known as the 'Marina Baixa', which is part of the province of Alicante, in south eastern Spain. The town lies in the valley of the River Guadalest, and is just 15 kilometres north of Benidorm, but a 'world away'.
Callosa is surrounded by the impressive mountains of Aitana, Bernia and Aixorta.
This small and picturesque town has much to offer the casual visitor with its winding cobbled streets dotted with pretty bars and cafes.
Callosa has a total population of approximately 8,000 inhabitants, many of whom work in agriculture and tourism. The town's economy is very dependant on the Nisperos fruit. This peach like fruit is grown all over the area and can be recognized by the huge canopies which are spread all over the valley, which are used to protect this most delicate of fruits from the wind. The Nesperos once cultivated are exported all over the world and are especially popular in the middle east. Indeed Callosa is famous through out Spain because of this 'juicy fruit'!
The town's most important monument is the church of Saint John the Baptist. (Sant Joan Baptista) Constructed in the 18th century, however excavations date the original building back to 1574. The church façade includes marble, taken from local quarries. It is thought the church was finally completed in its present form in 1865.
For a taste of the past visit the towns old washing area. El Poador de la Font Major.
This is the old washing area and a water trough built in 1786 by the Town Council of Callosa d'en Sarrià. It used to have twelve spouts and the washing place was able to provide space for over seventy people. In 1910 the washing area was covered with a roof. Nowadays it is restored and it represents one of the most charismatic images of the town. Get your cameras ready and be thankful for the invention of the washing machine!
The town also boasts a small museum, so as you can see the area offers an interesting diversion away from the coast. Call in for a tapas at one of the bars or lunch at a local restaurant and go on to visit the spectacular waterfalls, known as 'The Fonts de l'Algar'.
The Algar waterfalls form a natural park which in recent years has become a popular visitor attraction in the town. It is an ideal place to escape the hot summer sun and swimming is allowed. The area has been very well developed by the town and beautiful walks lead to a variety of waterfalls throughout the area. The local inhabitants use the refreshing spring water to cool off!
This area boasts several restaurants, so if you forget the picnic hamper, fear not, you can eat and drink well and if swimming in the waterfalls isn't your thing then how about a dip in one of the restaurants pools!
If shopping is your thing then the town holds two open air market days each week. Tuesday and Saturday's. These are a traditional Spanish fruit and vegetable market. The quality of the local produce has to be seen to be believed! Each Monday, the town holds yet another market, however this one caters to clothing, household items and leather goods, which are always a good bargain in Spain!
Callosa is easy to get to from Benidorm. Ask at your hotel or apartment reception about local bus excursions. If driving then simply follow directions out of Benidorm to La Nucia. Head onto the CV70 and simply follow the signs. This part of the Costa Blanca is blessed with an excellent local road system which will have you in the town within 20 minutes.
