Countryside

A privileged environment

Parcent is a small town lying in the shadow of the Carrascar mountain range, and close to Alcalalí, Jalón and Murla, where you can breathe the peace and tranquility of the Mediterranean summer. Where you dine by candlelight under the porches and still hear stories that have been passed down from father to son. Not too far from the coast, Parcent has preserved the traditional architecture of the Marina in its houses and maintained the customs of a small inland town.

To access the town of Parcent we have several routes, perhaps the easiest is:

From the AP7 or the national 332, your first destination point will be the town of Benissa. Right at the Benissa exit (N-332) towards Alicante, we will see a detour that will take us to a regional road, this road will take us to the town of Xaló, we will continue our way to the next town, Alcalalí. Without leaving the regional road, we reach a crossroads where we will turn left and after about 4 km and following the regional road we will reach Parcent.

Vall del Pop

The Vall del Pop to which the towns of Parcent, Alcalalí, Xaló, Murla, Benigembla, Lliber, Senija and Castell de Castells belong, is a small valley in the mountains of Alicante, with a climate temperate, with summers tempered by breezes and sunny, mild winters. Surrounded by imposing mountains such as the Carrascar de Parcent, the Cavall Verd mountain range or the Solana, the valley also has a microclimate that protects it from the winds and allows the cultivation of vines, from which extraordinary wines of international recognition are made. . Everything in the Vall de Pop is made to human measure, its wineries, its towns, its mountains and its festivals that are part of an incalculable heritage where the best of its values is its own people. From Parcent you can access larger mountains such as Bernia, La Serrella or La fits, life in this region.

Without losing sight of the sea, these towns have always been linked to Denia, Calpe and Benissa, since they transported grapes converted into raisins to their ports that were exported to Great Britain and from there , to the rest of the world. From the same town there is an old cobbled path, currently signposted as a Short Distance Path (PR), which allows us to climb the Coll de Rates and which was formerly used by the cavalry that transported the raisins to the port of Denia.
