La Nucia, Municipality in Marina Baixa, Spain
La Nucia sits on a promontory overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by fruit valleys between Benidorm and Callosa d'En Sarria at 226 meters elevation.
The municipality gained independence in 1705 after separating from the barony of Polop, which previously belonged to Alfonso Fajardo, Baron of Polop.
The eighteenth-century parish church of La Immaculada Concepcio stands as the central religious structure within the network of traditional white houses.
The municipality extends across 21.36 square kilometers and maintains direct connections to neighboring towns of Altea, Benidorm, Polop, and L'Alfas del Pi.
The name originates from the Arabic word Naziha, meaning delicious, bestowed by King James I of Aragon to Beltran de Bellpuig.
