Inland Alicante: the great unknown
When we think of Alicante, its beaches and coastal areas often come to mind. However, the interior of the province hides a treasure for lovers of rural tourism. The Sierra de Aitana, with its mountainous landscapes and small villages, offers the ideal setting for a quiet getaway.
