El Verger & Els Poblets

Areas

Where to live

Each village has its own character:

• El Verger village – a traditional main street, the neoclassical church and the medieval Torre del Comendador, with townhouses and apartments within walking distance of shops and schools.
• Els Poblets – quiet residential streets around Setla, Mira-rosa and Miraflor, with villas and bungalows on generous plots.
• L'Almadrava coast – homes just behind the beach of l'Almadrava, from where you can walk along the sea towards Les Deveses.
• Countryside – detached villas and fincas among the orange groves at the foot of the Segària, with mountain views and plenty of privacy.

Nature

River, mountains and wetlands

The river Girona runs through both villages and is lined with walking paths. Behind them rises the Segària range, with hiking trails and wide views over the coast, while the wetlands of the Marjal de Pego-Oliva and the Montgó Natural Park are only a short drive away.

Schools

Schools and services

The area has public nursery and primary schools, and secondary pupils attend the institutes in the neighbouring towns. Lessons are taught in Valencian and Spanish, with English as a foreign language.

Several international and British schools in Dénia and Jávea are within a 20 to 30-minute drive. El Verger also has a bright, modern public library.

Culture & festivals

Festivals and heritage

El Verger celebrates Moros i Cristians with colourful parades, and its cultural centre La Fàbrica de Sabó hosts concerts and exhibitions. Els Poblets honours El Diví Salvador from late July to early August – also with Moros i Cristians – and celebrates Sant Antoni and the bonfires of Sant Joan.

Heritage includes the Roman pottery site of l'Almadrava, where amphorae were made between the 1st and 5th centuries, the 14th-century Torre de Mira-rosa and El Verger's Torre del Comendador. Good to know: Dénia's ferry port is ten minutes away and both Valencia and Alicante airports are about an hour's drive.
