Orihuela
With over 50.000 inhabitants Orihuela is a major resort in the area and is located 22 km from Murcia and 59 Km from Alicante, at the Spanish Mediterranean sea. It is the capital of the vastest region in all Alicante and its 338 square metres of municipal area goes from inland, far away from the coast, to the beach, and it covers, apart from downtown, an important palm grove, three golf courses, two marinas, built-up beaches like La Zenia or Dehesa de Campoamor, orchard areas and more.
Its rich cultural and historical past has left a vast monumental heritage of remarkable artistic value including Romanesque, gothic and renaissance style churches, convents and palaces, five of which have been declared national monuments.
Orihuela was the Episcopal seat of the province of Alicante for almost four centuries and its civic traditions and artistic heritage are stamped by this major religious influence. Orihuela possesses five national monuments: Saint Domingo Nunnery, Saint Salvador Cathedral, Church of Saint Jusa and Rufina, Bishop’s Palace and the Church of Santiago. It was home to the famous Spanish poet Miguel Hernandez and reached its peak of importance in the 8th century as it was the main headquarters of the Dukedom of Teodomiro. This nobleman converted Orihuela into the capital of the Christian kingdom. Later on, during the Muslim conquest, the city was able to conserve its independence until the 9th century. It was re-conquered by Jaime I in 1265 and given to Castilla although it was repopulated by people from Catalunya and Aragon.
The Cathedral and the Palace of Rubalcalva are monuments you must visit, the Cathedral was built on grounds where a mosque had once been in the 12th century and shows a Gothic style. Through the entrance called Door of Loreto added on in the 15th century you will see a beautiful Baroque organ. Through another entrance, the Renaissance style is evident. The Palace of Rubalcava was inhabited by members of this family up until 1933 and in 1976 it became property of the town. It has a sweeping marble staircase that takes you up to the noble main salons – the red salon with family portraits, the yellow salon used nowadays for weddings, the dance hall or hall of mirrors with a French air.
An agricultural area, offering a varied landscape, in which a succession of sierras, orchards and palm groves lead the way to 16 km of coast and some of the cleanest beaches in Europe, bearing the Blue Flag Award of the European Union.
Despite its name, the Orihuela Costa is some distance from the city of Orihuela, in fact some 20 kilometres away. It comprises around 16 km of fine sandy beaches, rocky coves and clear sparkling waters stretching from Punta Prima (just south of Torrevieja) to Mil Palmeras. It is now one of the most popular destinations in the region for a summer holiday, attracting visitors from all over Europe.
The Orihuela Costa boasts some well known and popular resorts including Cabo Roig, La Zenia, Campoamor and Playa Flamenca. All these resorts can be reached by the N332 coastal road.
Orihuela sports offer is pretty varied, as it has two marinas: Dehesa de Campoamor and Cabo Roig, and the three golf courses of Villamartín, Las Ramblas and Campoamor. Horse riding can also be practiced, as well as tennis and hiking, having the most extensive rural paths in all the region.
Its excellent tourist facilities, its good communication network and more than 300 days of sunshine with an average temperature of 20ºC make this area the ideal travel destination for sports and leisure throughout the year.
