The surroundings of the city of Alicante, the region of l'Alacantí, is a semi arid area at the foot of the mountains that limit this territory. Agriculture in the past and residential tourism today have modified the area, mixing the old and the modern in a unique location. The Canalobre caves are a natural treasure hidden in the heart of the mountain. Not far away, leaving the watchtowers of Xixona and Busot behind, we will find an essential product in our Christmas celebration, the Nougat.
