LOCATION In the Marina Baja region, the village of Tárbena perches high in the mountains, 560 metres above sea level with views of the coast line and the crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean sea.

Tàrbena is a little village of Arab origin that has been subjected to a religious de-population and later a re-population episode by an entirely different race of people. In 1609, at the time of the Inquisition, Tàrbena was abandoned, its crops unused and the town became pretty much deserted when the mostly Moorish population was expelled from the Iberian Peninsula.

The Viceroy of Palma de Mallorca sent 17 families from Santa Margalida to repopulate it, with which Tárbena acquired a new cultural identity. With homemade Majorcan sausages and pastries on offer the locals lead you to believe you have arrived in their “Little Majorca” in Tarbena.

This town’s charm is very unique and its location unbeatable. Situated in the interior of the country and slightly away from the coast, it has escaped the over-exploitation that many coastal places have suffered.

Tàrbena takes you back to a Spain that has sustained rural life for centuries; traverse ancient footpaths through the intricate terracing built by the Moors a thousand years ago while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, valleys and the coast. The rugged terrain and diversity of landscapes means that there is always something new just around the corner, an unexpected panorama or a refreshing spring bubbling from the mountainside. With more than ten routes of varying length to choose from Tarbena is a great way to experience the Mediterranean way-of-life, get a first-hand insight into the countryside, and enjoy some of the excellent walking and hiking that Spain has to offer.

The area is the area of choice for many pro cycling teams training camps. The region has earned itself the title of the ‘Healthiest Place to Live’ in Spain, mostly due to the climate, clean air and diet, sourced from the acres of fertile fields, vineyards and citrus groves. Combining the challenging terrain of the countryside with its healthy attributes and climate, makes it a win win for the pro teams. Tarbena itself is a very popular training area for professional cyclists, particularly in the winter, and is also a great area for cyclo-tourists. The fact that ten of the eighteen World Tour teams have chosen this area for their training camps this year speaks volumes for the region.

Tàrbena has plenty of bars and restaurants nearby so you can sample the excellent local cuisine, try some tapas and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of rural life in this interesting and picturesque village.

Olive and almond groves cover the terraces, oranges grow in abundance and each season produces something special to tempt the taste buds such as figs, avocados, grapes and pomegranites to name a few. And why not try the locally produced sausages and honey, all to be found in the village shop or at the weekly market held every Thursday in the town square.

Nearby you have the beautiful Algar Waterfalls and the historic village of Guadalest and only a A 30 minute drive from Tarbena you can various lively beach resorts with water parks, tourist attractions and several superb golf courses.

The location is close to international airports, travel time from Alicante airport is only 90 minutes and Valencia under 2 hrs-
