History
Some author has pointed out: ‘We are convinced that the ethnic roots of the Valencian lands are in the Alcalà Valley, particularly in the area between the Barranquet of Beniaia, the Barranc de les Ronches, the Solana de la Cairola and the Planet of the Condoig ‘.
How to get:
If you are coming from Madrid or Albacete, the N-330 road will connect you with the region of l`Alacantí, through the valley of the river Vinalopó (Elda, Villena).
The N-340 links Valencia with the interior (Alcoi, Cocentaina). In Muro de Alcoy by the CV-700 until Margarida.
It can be accessed by the A-7 motorway, taking the number 61 Pego-Oliva toll from Valencia and the peage number 62 Ondara-Dénia if you access it from Alicante, looking for the first municipality of Pego. From this town you can reach Alcalà de la Jovada, indistinctly, through the Vall d ‘Ebo CV-712 or the Vall de Gallinera CV-700.
