INFORMATION ABOUT THE AREA
Sax, Agost,Elda,Pinoso, Monovar are in the Alicante province and are situated approximately fifty minutes drive from the airport  and the local beaches of the Costa Blanca (with temperatures very slightly lower but still far better than the u.k.)

 It is a beautiful area with mountains and hills and, as the name Pinoso suggests, these are covered in pine trees. A far cry from the barren landscapes and housing developments of many coastal areas.

It is a mainly farming area, the main crops being grapes for the local wines (there are bodegas in most villages selling their products), almonds and olives

 The local industries are quality shoes, leather bags, salt and marble (Pinoso is the fifth richest town in Spain because of its salt & marble).

There are many local shops supermarkets and restaurants (try a menu del dia) and the local bars are always worth a visit for the conversations and the tapas.

This is real Spain with friendly locals who, although they speak no English, will help with a laugh at your poor Spanish.

(get a feminine ending to a masculine word and you could be saying something very rude.)

 This not the Spain of benidorm, if you want that you have to drive there (approx. One hour down the motorway). This is rural inland Spain at its best. Tranquillo.

 This area has the best of both worlds. On one hand peaceful rural tranquility, yet on the other hand you are only a short car journey from the bright lights (if you really want that), and the Cities of Alicante and Murcia.

 COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED
