LOCATION Jalon (Xalo in Valencia) is a lovely, picturesque town in the stunning Jalon Valley widely known as the valley of wine (Vall de Pop).

Jalon is also famous for its Saturday Rastro market which is huge and diverse in what bargains you can find and purchase. In the Old Square of Jalon, Plaza Major , there is a fountain around which there is an open market held on Tuesday mornings and artisan markets held on certain Saturdays throughout the year. Seen from the square is the famous Jalon Church with its blue dome.
Jalon was under Arabic domination for over five hundred years. The Arabians built two castles, one for the Solana (the Aixa) and another in the Bernia. Both fortresses controlled the Jalon Valley and the numerous settlers. The Arabians left behind the typical house style, for which Jalon is famous today, i.e. houses of stone and old bricks with large wooden doors as well as decorated walls. The Arabic culture influenced life in Jalon up to its final displacement in the year 1609. After that the trade with raisins became the major economic activity. Many farmers from Majorca settled in Jalon in the 18th and 19th centuries and started cultivating the land, concentrating on grapes and raisin production.
Jalon hosts several “Fiestas” in particular the first two weeks in August with bull running, live music, dancing, fireworks and the third week in October which is the local Paella Fiesta.
There are local Spanish schools in Jalon and prívate International Schools within a short 20 minute drive that also offer a school bus service.
Jalon has a sports centre and the area is both a walker and cyclists delight with routes for all levels. Horse riding, and golf are also activities that are within easy reach of Jalon. There is also an outdoor communal swimming pool open in the summer months for the locals to meet and enjoy.
In late January the whole of the Jalon valley floor is covered with a pink and white carpet of scented almond blossom attracting visitors from all over. You´ll find that time and life in Jalon is not measured by a clock but by the slow ever changing colours of the beautiful countryside.

There is also a local bus service from Jalon to the city of Denia which passes through the villages on route and from Denia you have a ferry service to Ibiza, Formentera and Mallorca.
Jalon has three smaller neighbouring villages close by surrounded by the grapevines, almond, orange and olive groves. The surrounding mountains offer a magnificent back drop to what is a stunning area of natural beauty with breathtaking landscapes offering a taste of “Real Spain” an area dubbed Costa Blanca´s “Jewel in the Crown” by the British travel press and with an average 320 days of sunshine per year.
Extending from Alicante, the Northern Costa Blanca stretches for miles up towards the city of Valencia and within a short 20 to 30 minute drive from Jalon you will find a wealth of clean blue flag sandy beaches and coves to explore.
