Rojales
Rojales is a traditional farming village which lies on the Segura River in the heart of the Vega Baja valley which has amazing views of the Crevillente and Callosa mountains. In order to optimize agricultural production it concentrates on growing citrus fruits which account for 70% of the cultivated land.
There are plenty of sports facilities which make it possible to practice such as bowling, football, basketball, volleyball, tennis and swimming. The major sport of the Costa Blanca is golf, of which Rojales is home to La Marquesa. This 18 hole course spans 5.840 meters and has facilities including practice courses, golfing school, social club and plenty of restaurants.
The history of the town dates back from the time of the Moors. The water wheel was built at the end of the last century and is protected by monumental stone work to stave off the damages of river flooding which is still working to this day.
One of the most representative symbols of Rojales is the 18th century of bridge of Charles III which is characterised by the workmanship of the stonework crossing the Segura River using three wide arches.
One of the most interesting features in Rojales are the cave dwellings which date back to the middle of the 19th century. Today there are four districts of cave houses. They are located at the sides of several hills surrounding the south of the town. You can visit the caves of El Rodeo where t his is an extensive handcrafts market. It has become a hub of activity where courses, fairs and exhibitions of all things handmade are organised.
A must see is the House of Shells which is the work of Manuel Fullenda Alcarazs patience and perseverance. This can be found next to the caves of El Rodeo. Manuel will welcome you into his home for a friendly tour.
