The town of Bigastro is a typical inland Spanish town, surrounded by orange and lemon groves it has its own market day every week, Alicante airport and city are only 45 minutes distance, whilst the historic cities of Orihuela and Murcia with their good quality shopping facilities are close by.

Bigastro is a small village and municipal district located in the Vega Baja (Low Fertile Valley) district of the province of Alicante in Spain. Its municipal area covers just 4.10 km2 and it has a population of 6,303 (2006).

Situated on the CV-95 south-east of the town of Orihuela, Bigastro is some 14km away from the beaches of the Costa Blanca and Orihuela Costa. It is approx. 6 km from Orihuela, 60 km from Alicante and 205 km from Valencia.

Though there is evidence of settlements in the area going back to the Bronze Age, the known history of Bigastro only goes back to 1701 when it was founded as the home for some 24 families, relocated from the larger town of Orihuela. It was founded primarily as an agricultural community with a leaning towards hemp and the production of linen, it also became an important area for citrus farming. It later developed some light industry, which continues today.

The town of Bigastro was primarily part of Vega Baja region before it was made a part of the Kingdom of Murcia. Under the Torrijos Treaty, the municipality was adjoined to the Kingdom of Valencia.

As the town was integrated into the Alicante Province, Bigastro experienced increased levels of development.

Architecture

For many centuries, the town remained under the control of the church. Although the town underwent several changes to separate themselves from the church, their influence remains in other ways such as its architecture. One of the most important edifices is the church built in honor of Our Lady of Bethlehem. The structure is distinguished by its well lit central dome with four scallops, one said to symbolize each of the four evangelists.

Beyond the walls of the town are remnants of earlier civilizations. First time visitors are encouraged to travel to the archaeological sites near Bigastro. There are two areas of importance: the La Loma and Los Palacios. La Loma is a large hill rich in clay, sandstone and marl. Although preserved well, the area has suffered much due to erosion caused by the immense impact of illegal logging in the area. Within this area are relics dating back to Late Bronze and Iberian eras. On the other hand, the area containing Los Palacios contains relics traced to the 2nd century BC until 2nd century AD.
