And a River Runs Through It: Exploring the Traditional Village of Rojales

A land-locked village in the province of Alicante, Rojales is a charming place where traditional Spanish lifestyle is preserved and incorporated into modern, day-to-day activities. It is an agricultural village that thrives with the help of the Segura River that runs through the centre of the town, providing a good source of water and fertile soil for plants and crops. Traditional cave homes can be found near the river, which paints a picture of how the area looked like in the past, and how the village’s local residents lived their day-to-day lives.

Despite being a village heavily reminiscent of old, traditional Spain, there are plenty of areas in and around the town centre with modern amenities and establishments—offering a variety of activities and entertainment options for residents and visitors alike to enjoy. There are many shops in Rojales’ town centre, including three good supermarkets, where one can find traditional Spanish food and delicacies among their wide selection of goods and products. The town centre and its surrounding streets also have a good number of restaurants—some serving up traditional Spanish dishes, while others including a wide range of international cuisine in their menu—as well as tapas bars, cafés, and even pubs. There is even a locally known Irish bar where one can grab a few beers while capping off the day.
