Places to see in ( Alicante - Spain ) Guadalest Valley
The Guadalest Valley, also known as the 'Eagle's Nest' is situated at about 25kms from Benidorm. The spectacular tourist spot can be reached after a refreshing 1hr drive from Alicante. The drive offers stunning views of the mountain scenery and as you pass the village of Polop, the winding rustic roads give the feel of the bygone era.
In the ancient times Guadalest was originally an Islamic country, and was of great military importance. The ancient ruins and castles can be seen even in the present times despite having been destroyed by the battles and natural disasters.
The ‘Guadalest castle’ and the white bell tower of ‘Penon de la Alcala’ are two of the must see monuments there. The castle was so secure that in order to reach it, one has to pass through a 15ft long tunnel, and that too by foot. The village has retained its old world charm with its quaint cobbled streets, a village square and an ancient Jailhouse.
The population of this place is only about 200 residents, and the major occupation of these people is tourism related jobs. There are ample opportunities of shopping as the streets are filled with shops selling crafts, souvenirs and local items such as wine and honey. The entire Guadalest trip can be covered within a day, and you can be back to your hotels by dinner time.

Guadalest
El Castell de Guadalest, known usually as Guadalest, is a small town in Valencia, in a mountainous part of the comarca of Marina Baixa, in the province of Alicante, Spain. Guadalest covers an area of 16 sq km, and has a population of around 200 inhabitants. Guadalest is approximately 25 kilometres inland from Benidorm along CV-70 road.
Surrounded by the Aitana, Serella & Xorta Mountains the village was a strategic military stronghold with fortifications. dating back to 715AD and the period of Moorish occupation of Spain. It has a long history. It saw action during the Moorish occupation, a strong earthquake in 1644 seriously damaged the fort and houses of the village, and during the War of the Spanish Succession, it again suffered serious damage from a mine explosion.
The town grew up around the fortress. Originally the population lived within the protection of the castle walls. The castle can only be entered by one small tunnel cut through the rock at the San Jose gate. The area inside the walls includes the ancient city dungeon, the bell tower, Saint Josep castle, the Orduña House, parish church and the Moorish fortified building called Alcozaiba.
The houses the Moors lived in then were built outside the San Jose gate. This part of the town, el Arrabal, with its little streets and squares is where the majority of the shops, craft shops, museums and restaurants are today.
The river Guadalest flows through the area and has been dammed to form a spectacular a reservoir below the town.
Guadalest has been declared a 'Monument of Historical and Artistic Value' and is a major tourist attraction in Spain.

Office du Tourisme de Castell de Guadalest ; Site Web :
El Castell de Guadalest , date de la période musulmane, après la conquête chrétienne du XIII siècle.
Pour les historiens intéressés, je vous invite à mieux découvrir l’histoire de ce fief pittoresque sur le site de la ville. Histoire riche en rebondissement mais aussi en faits de changements démographiques, de guerres, incendies et d’événements géologiques. Deux grandes familles ont toutefois marquées la vie et l’avenir de ce beau village entre le 15 et le 19 eme siècle, les familles Carduna et Orduña.
HELAS, Suite à un manque de collaboration et d´organisation de la municipalité, je n´ai pu filmer ni la Maison Orduña, ni le musée de l´Ethnologie !
Heureusement que les habitants et propriétaires des musées privés étaient quant à eux TRES Chaleureux
Au XXe siècle Castell de Guadalest subit une série de changements importants:
Construction du barrage, augmentant son tourisme ; sa protection comme monument historique et artistique en 74, pour enfin en 1980 recevoir sa Plaque de bronze du mérite touristique et en 1981 le troisième prix de National du Tourisme à l'embellissement et l'amélioration des peuples d'Espagne.
Quelques Monuments du Guadalest :
Maison Orduña
La maison a été construite après le grand tremblement de terre de 1644 qui a dévasté la région et a ruiné les dépendances.
Elle fut construite par la famille Orduña, lignée d'origine basque qui était venu au château de Guadales comme des personnes de confiance. Les Orduña étaient au service du marquis, gouverneurs de la forteresse. La maison a été incendiée et pillée lors de la guerre de Succession (1708). En 1756, Pedro Antonio Buenaventura García de Orduña et entra dans l'Ordre militaire de Santiago et atteindre ainsi l'accès du domaine noble.
Elle comporte dans son domaine la Forteresse Alcozaiba qui date du XI siècle et fut construite par les musulmans.
La Forteresse Castillo de San José du XI siècle également construite par les musulmans est située sur le rocher dans la partie haute de la ville.
D’un autre style (Baroque) et datant du XVIIIe siècle Eglise Notre-Dame de l'Assomption, attribué à José Sierra.
Musée ethnologique
Le musée a été créé pour sensibiliser le mode de vie et de travail de nos ancêtres dans la Vallée de Guadalest . Le musée est situé dans une maison typique du XVIIIe siècle, construit sur le rocher, dans la vieille ville qui était un bastion d'origine arabe, et vous obtenez dans un tunnel creusé dans la roche et dont la grille l'entrée est encore préservé.
Il est divisé en trois parties: La 1ère qui est dédié à la vie quotidienne rurale. La 2ème ou vous découvrirez la culture et la transformation des produits de la région: olives, raisins et céréales. Et la 3ème qui se compose d'une collection d'armes anciennes.
Medieval History Museum
Construit sur trois étages et sous-sol, il contient plus de soixante instruments de torture et peine capitale, d´on le dernier de la peine capitale en Espagne.
Municipal Museo Casa Orduña
La maison a été construite après le grand tremblement de terre de 1644 qui a dévasté la région et a ruiné ses dépendances.
Musée des Salières et poivrières
Il y a deux musées de ce genre dans le monde, l'un dans le Tennessee (Gatlinburg) aux Etats-Unis et l'autre Ici à El Castell de Guadalest . Le musée se compose de plus de 20.000 pièces originales et provenant d’un peu partout dans le monde, beaucoup d'entre elles issues de magasins d'antiquités, il y a des pièces de 1800 à nos jours.
Musée historique Véhicules Guadalest Valley
Collection composée de 140 motos et plusieurs voiturettes, en parfait état et original, des années 20 aux années 70 fera déplacer le visiteur dans le temps et découvrir les véhicules de nos aînés.
Le musée de 500 m2 laisse surpris les nombreux visiteurs. Outre les motos et les voitures, le musée est décoré avec un certain nombre d'objets anciens tels que les machines à coudre, machine à écrire, cafetières, téléphones, radios.
