Orihuela spreads its historic orchard among orange trees, palm trees and irrigation channels, with the Sierra de Orihuela as a backdrop. The fincas and country houses feature stone walls, exposed beams and a fireplace, surrounded by land for an orchard and garden that invites tranquillity.
The historic center, with the Cathedral and the Episcopal Palace, is listed as a Bien de Interés Cultural, while the Palmeral de Orihuela is recognised as a Conjunto Histórico. Outlying districts such as San Bartolomé or La Aparecida, and markets in the Vega Baja, enliven rural life.
The coast of Orihuela boasts coves with Blue Flag, and the A-7 motorway and Alicante airport make access easy. Hiking in the mountains, cycling among orchards and cuisine of rice dishes and artichoke complete day-to-day life.
