ALBOX
Just a 30-minute drive from the coast and you will be enchanted by the authentic Spain scenario courtesy of the place called Albox. Time-honored customs and traditions are still being practiced here. Tuesdays are extremely busy when the locals come into the Rambla (a dry river bed) wherein they vend or purchase anything from chickens, rabbits or goats to trees or tractors, processed food, or just about anything. Even the adjacent streets are closed off to passage, to make way for the trading of fresh fruit, vegetables and bread.
Deeper into tiny villages such as Taberno, crystal-clear mountain water flows freely, and it’s certainly safe for drinking! Annually, Albox commemorates all saints by holding a colossal fiesta/feria (party/fair). This is the prime merriment for Albox and thousands of people from the adjoining towns and villages all go down to Albox to rejoice. The celebrations last until the early hours of the following day.
