Marina Baixa

Marina Baixa is an administrative region in the province of Alicante that stretches from the Mediterranean coast to inland mountains. The region encompasses 18 municipalities with diverse landscapes and environments.

The region was settled by Moors and still preserves remains of their fortifications and defensive towers along the coastline. These structures show the strategic importance of the area during medieval times.

Each municipality within Marina Baixa maintains its own festivals, with La Vila Joiosa celebrating one of the four main official fiestas in Valencia.

The area has a coastline with several beaches where visitors can swim and enjoy water activities. Access to these beaches is easy from various municipalities throughout the region.

Temperature differences between coastal areas and mountain zones can reach 10 degrees, creating distinct microclimates within short distances. This allows visitors to experience rapid changes in climate when moving between coastal and highland areas.
