Due to its proximity to the capital city of Alicante, the municipality of Mutxamel has been considered part of the Alicante vegetable garden and a summer destination for the capital citizens, who built noble mansions such as the one of Conde de Montemar or the Palacio de los Peñacerrada. Nowadays it has something of a dormitory city due to its good communications and its proximity to strategic places such as the University or the Airport. It also has a good level of industrial facilities. In terms of its urban physiognomy highlights the Parish Church and its Gothic tower of the fourteenth century. It conserves a good amount of agriculture, especially the tomato, whose variety has great importance and fame for its exquisite quality. The works of canalization, ditches and dams or diversion dam of the Monnegre River are interesting.

Santa Bárbara Castle is located on Mount Benacantil, 166 meters above sea level, from where you can see the entire bay of Alicante and gives it great strategic value.
On its slopes have been found archaeological remains of the Bronze Age, Iberian and Roman, but the origin of the current fortress must be sought at the end of the ninth century with Muslim domination.

Just off the Alicante coast is the beautifully untouched island of Tabarca. Home to a picturesque little town of whitewashed houses and a historical old church, this is a must-visit destination. Getting there couldn’t be easier as there are boats that run daily from the harbor in Alicante for €18 return, €15 for children. The boat trip itself is an experience as the waters around Tabarca have been declared a Mediterranean Marine Reserve for their outstanding beauty and abundance in flora and fauna. There is a restaurant and shop on the island but we recommend you pack a picnic as these can get a little pricey during the summer seasons. There’s a beach and a little coastal path you can walk until you find the perfect picnic spot to relax under the baking sun. Definitely don’t forget the sunscreen as the island is the perfect little sun-trap!
Getting there from Alicante city
You can get to the Island of Tabarca from the marina (Paseo Tomás y Valiente). Approximate journey time: 1 hour.
