Discover Castalla: The Perfect Blend of Tradition, Nature and Modern Living in Alicante Province

Nestled at the foot of an iconic 13th-century Moorish castle that crowns a rocky hill like a sentinel, Castalla is one of inland Alicante’s best-kept secrets. Just 35 km (25 minutes’ drive) from Alicante city and its international airport, and only 30–40 minutes from the Costa Blanca’s golden beaches, Castalla offers the rare combination of authentic Spanish town life with outstanding connectivity.

A Historic Heart with Everyday Charm
The old town winds gently uphill toward the magnificent castle (fully restored and open to visitors), passing whitewashed houses, flower-filled balconies, and quiet squares where locals still gather in the evenings. The Hermitage of La Sangre, the baroque Town Hall and the lively Plaza Mayor host year-round fiestas — the Moros y Cristianos in September being one of the most spectacular in the region, with parades, music and fireworks that light up the castle walls.

Yet Castalla is far from a museum piece. The lower town and newer residential areas are home to modern supermarkets (Mercadona, Masymas), excellent tapas bars, traditional roast-lamb restaurants, international eateries, pharmacies, medical centres, banks and weekly street markets every Wednesday and Saturday.

Outstanding Location & Connectivity
- Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC): 35 minutes
- Beaches of Alicante, Santa Pola, El Campello: 30–40 minutes
- High-speed AVE train station (Villena): 20 minutes
- Madrid in under 2½ hours by AVE
- AP-7 motorway: 5–10 minutes
- Regular bus services to Alicante and nearby towns

Nature on Your Doorstep
Castalla sits in the beautiful Foia de Castalla valley, surrounded by the Sierra de Castalla and Maigmó mountain ranges. The area is a paradise for hikers, mountain bikers and climbers, with marked trails leading through pine forests to panoramic viewpoints. The nearby Via Verde (old railway converted to a cycling/walking path) connects you all the way to the coast. For golfers, Font del Llop (15 min) and Alenda Golf (20 min) are highly regarded courses.

Property Market – Exceptional Value
Castalla remains one of the most competitively priced areas in the province:

Many properties enjoy breathtaking castle or mountain views.

Climate & Lifestyle
Over 300 days of sunshine a year, mild winters (rarely below 8 °C) and warm but breezy summers thanks to the inland elevation (around 700 m). Perfect for outdoor living without the intense heat and humidity of the immediate coast.

International Community, Spanish Soul
You’ll find a welcoming mix of British, Dutch, Belgian, German and Scandinavian residents who have chosen Castalla for its relaxed pace and genuine Spanish atmosphere. English is widely spoken in estate agencies, town hall services and many businesses, yet the town retains its authentic character — children play in the streets, neighbours greet each other, and traditions are proudly lived rather than performed for tourists.

Education & Amenities
- Two well-regarded public primary schools and a secondary institute
- Private bilingual options within easy reach
- New sports centre with indoor pool, paddle tennis, football pitches
- 24-hour medical centre and private clinics
- High-speed fibre optic internet throughout most of the municipality

Why Castalla Works So Well for Homebuyers
It offers the tranquillity and space that many seek when leaving the crowded coast, yet you are never more than 30–40 minutes from beaches, international schools, hospitals, shopping malls and the airport. Property prices are typically 30–50 % lower than comparable homes on the coast, capital growth has been steady, and rental yields are strong thanks to growing demand from long-term European residents.

Whether you’re looking for a lock-up-and-leave holiday home with stunning views, a spacious family villa with garden and pool, or a rural retreat surrounded by almond blossoms, Castalla delivers exceptional quality of life at a fraction of coastal prices.

Castalla isn’t just a place to buy a house — it’s a place to feel instantly at home.
