Benifato Fira de Sant Miguel & Guadalest Tour
La Fira de Sant Miquel – or St Michael's Fair – is an annual celebration in many parts of Spain, and on this tour, you'll head to the rural town of Benifato to see how they mark the event. There'll be stalls, workshops, music and more. On top of that, you'll also visit the village of Guadalest.Nestled in the mountains, Benifato is a quintessential Valencian village, with no more than a few hundred inhabitants. But for one weekend a year, the town comes alive with markets, workshops and performances. Browse stalls selling everything from handcrafted souvenirs to local artisan products, topped off with mouthwatering street food and exhibitions – there's even demonstrations for the kids to get involved.After your fix of Spanish festivities, it's onto Guadalest - the jewel in the crown of the Costa Blanca. Its interior clings to a rocky outcrop amid some of the most romantic scenery imaginable. Wander the village's dozen or so streets, which are home to eight museums, and pass through tunnels carved into the rock. As you weave up the cobbled lanes towards the top of the ridge, the views over the valley just get better and better.
