Discover Sax: A Welcoming Spanish Town with Everything You Need
If you’re considering a move to Sax, you’ll be joining a friendly, vibrant community that warmly embraces newcomers. Having lived here for over 20 years, I’ve built lasting friendships and valuable connections – and you can too. As a relatively small town, locals (both Spanish and expats) quickly recognise new faces and are always ready to lend a hand. There are active Facebook groups where you’ll find practical advice and support from others who’ve made the move, making your transition smooth and enjoyable.
Sax is most famous for its impressive hilltop castle, but it’s also the birthplace of renowned chemist Alberto Sols, as well as successful athletes, authors, and musicians. The town truly comes alive during the spectacular Moors and Christians festival in February, a five-day celebration honouring the patron saint San Blas. This extraordinary event features elaborate historical re-enactments with participants in authentic costumes, thunderous blunderbuss and cannon fire, and joyful street parades – an unforgettable spectacle that must be experienced in person!
Despite its charming small-town feel, Sax has all the essentials and more:
– Excellent shopping, including major supermarkets like Consum with its outstanding fresh fish counter, international foods, fine cheeses, cured meats, and fresh produce.
– Wonderful independent butchers, bakers, and local shops where you’ll receive personal service and quickly build relationships with owners and regulars.
Healthcare is reassuringly accessible: Sax boasts a 24-hour medical centre with some English-speaking staff, plus the modern Elda hospital just a 5-minute drive away. Emergency ambulance services are based in town, and the standard of care is excellent.
Transport links are outstanding:
– Affordable, comfortable buses to Alicante city (under €5 and less than an hour).
– Just 7km to Villena’s high-speed AVE railway station for quick connections to Madrid or Alicante.
– A local train station for convenient, low-cost trips along the traditional line.
Culture and entertainment thrive here, with a theatre, a modern auditorium, and a calendar packed with traditional fiestas. From centuries-old traditions like the rosemary pilgrimage to the mountain or the quirky "Burial of the Sardine” at Carnival, there’s always something joyful happening. Many celebrations involve communal feasting and fun – and yes, often a glass or two!
With nearly 50 bars and restaurants, you’ll enjoy everything from hearty €10 three-course "menú del día” lunches (often including drinks) to more upscale dining. Tapas are plentiful, wine is generously served (and affordably priced), and the atmosphere is always welcoming.
Add to this over 300 days of sunshine annually, a pleasant inland climate without coastal humidity or extreme inland heat, and it’s easy to see why Sax is growing in popularity.
