Jalón Valley

Areas

Where to live in the Jalón Valley

The valley offers a wide range of homes, many with large plots and stunning views:

• Jalón village – village houses and apartments close to all amenities and the famous Saturday market.
• Alcalalí and Llíber – smaller villages with traditional houses and villa areas on the surrounding hillsides.
• Parcent and Murla – quiet mountain villages at the head of the valley, perfect for nature lovers.
• Countryside villas and fincas – detached homes among vineyards and almond trees, often with pools and panoramic valley views.

Nature

Mountains, rivers and blossom

The valley is framed by the Sierra de Bernia, the Sierra del Ferrer and the Coll de Rates. Walking routes lead to the ruins of the Castell d'Aixa, along the Gorgos riverbed and up to the Bernia ridge, with views over the whole Costa Blanca.

Every year, from late January to February, thousands of almond trees cover the valley in pink and white blossom – one of the most beautiful sights in Spain.

Schools

Schools for every family

Jalón has its own public primary school, CEIP Serra de Bèrnia, and secondary education is available in nearby towns such as Benissa.

International families can reach British and international schools in Jávea, Benitachell and Alfaz del Pi in around 25–35 minutes.

Culture & festivals

Markets, wine and fiestas

Every Saturday, Jalón's popular rastro (flea market) brings together antiques, crafts and local produce, attracting visitors from across the coast. The village churches, small museums and old washhouses tell the story of the valley.

Each village celebrates its own summer fiestas with music, processions and traditional events, and wine and harvest festivals complete a lively calendar.
