The great inland Spain:
Inland there is an alternative Spain as beautiful as the coast but maybe a little more relaxing. This is the part of Spain that many people refer to as 'the real Spain', they may be right, certainly this is Spain as it used to be, the original Spain if you like. Here you find country properties nestled between the many lemon & orange groves or vineyards and almond trees that can be found inland from the Costa Blanca. This is also a mountainous area with some peaks reaching 1200mts above sea level, not so high, but high enough to notice a difference in the air. The country villages still have a relaxed atmosphere and the architecture hasn't changed so much in the last 100 years, neither the local customs. Life is definitely relaxed in the countryside, there is no rush, things happen when they happen and most people, native and newcomers enjoy this positive characteristic of country lifestyle.
Quality of life..:
Another great benefit to country living is the local produce. Not only is it fresh daily, but it is very affordable. A lot of these regions are wine producing areas and you could be satisfied at both the quality and the value for money. In most regions wine can be purchased from the local 'bodega', wine cellar. So If this relaxed lifestyle starts to become too difficult to endure!, fresh produce, local wine, great air to breath, well you can always take a 20 minute drive to your nearest city, Elche, where life is full of all the usual amenities you expect to find in any similar city or town. If you are looking for good healthy country living, peace and quite, and just a short journey to the city , beach life, and airport, then this could be the place for you.
