Here Costa Azahar recovers its harmonious virginity, with the greens and blues of the coves, beaches and pine trees.
Tourists who come looking for the sun and the beach have plenty of choices: Les Fonts, Carregador, L’Estany, La Romana and Moro beaches. If one wishes to play any sports, there is a reputed leisure port.
If one prefers to discover the past of the people, a visit to the town of Alcalà de Xivert, the nucleus of Alcossebre is a must. |

The
Xivert castle situated on top of the Irta
mountain range has kept two well-differentiated
parts: the Arab and the Christian parts.
Also found in
Irta is the Santa Llúcia i Sant Benet
chapel (17th century). The Ebrí tower
(16th century) is a little bit higher. Yet
this is not the only tower we will find,
as in Cap i Corb hamlet near the sea we
can bump into the Cap i Corb tower, built
in 1427. Also in Cap i Corb you can visit
the Sant Antoni chapel (1773). The 18th
century Sant Miquel chapel located 5 km
away from Alcalà is equally beautiful.
2 km away from the town an obelisk welcomes
us.
It is called Prigó del Rei and was
erected in 1803 in honour of Charles IV.
Once in Alcalà, a visit to Sant Joan
Baptista parish curch is a must. On the
right hand side of the church’s exterior
is the bell tower, the tallest in the former
Valencian kingdom (1784-1803). The Renaissance-style
Municipal Arts Centre is in Calle de la
Virgen de los Desamparados. The fourth chapel
is Calvari (1779) and in Alcossebre the
Sant Cristòfol church (18th century)
deserves mentioning.

Alcossebre has several coves
and five beautiful beaches. On one of
them there are freshwater fountains
in the sand (Les Fonts Beach). From
north to south, there are rough landscapes
with rocks and pine woods in Argelaga
and Pla de Roda, Cala Mundina and Cala
Blanca coves.
Next there are Les Fonts rocks, with
a beach and a modern marina. A short
stroll starting from here towards the
primitive centre takes us to a huge
beach: Carregador. |

Rocks border this beach with Romana beach,
a natural beauty with pure, crystalline waters.
Moro beach is situated near some big rocks,
with its typical rock agrounded opposite.
Facing south, we reach l’Estany beach
and from here there is a partition of gravel,
typical of the coastal lagoons. There is also
a long, narrow beach owned by Cap i Corb. |
