The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region
Raspay is a small friendly village (everyone will acknowledge you) at the foot of the Sierra Carche range, some 8kms from the town of Pinoso.
We are in the middle of a wine growing area, so there are lots of Bodegas to visit and if you are a wine buff many opportunities to sample the various wines Most of the small towns around here have their own wine and there are lots of full bodied reds to sample as well as crisp fresh whites. If you visit in August you can take part in the Jumilla fiesta where the wine flows very freely
Should you be interested in fishing we can arrange course fishing trips on the lakes and rivers of inland Spain with tackle and bait supplied and obtain a licence if required
We are right on the edge of a regional park and at the foot of the Sierra Carche with its beautiful scenery ideal for walkers and for bird watchers. Come in February ,March when there is a sea of pink and white almond blossom or April ,May when all the wild flowers are starting to bloom or in June when the village has its own local fiesta for three days. This is real Spain, peaceful quiet and still with a lot of the old traditions and still unspoilt by tourism.
Pinoso / Raspay area
Our nearest town is Pinoso just 10 mins drive down through the almonds and olives, it has a good selection of bars and restaurants, including one where you can get an English breakfast. A three course meal with a bottle of wine between two will cost you about 8 euros. There are also a couple of restaurant/bars which are English owned and should you have a hankering for fish and chips or a roast they would be pleased to serve you.
Pinoso has 2 main fiestas one in February and the other in August when the town goes wild and the residents in town get very little sleep. There is also a Sports Centre in Pinoso if you feel energetic Pinoso is the fifth richest town in Spain.
Within half an hours drive are many other small towns some have places of interest to visit and most have their own markets.
Fancy horse riding, no problem, stables some 20 minutes from here will take you trekking in the countryside or will arrange riding for your children
There are two Spa towns within a short drive both offer therapeutic hot springs and offer various treatments.
Have a day out in Callesparra where the best paella rice in Spain comes from,see the rice fields and visit the sanctuary the scenery is stunning
The nearest golf course is half an hours drive from here and should you wish to visit the beach the nearest is San Juan 50 minutes drive down good roads.
Alicante town is about the same distance and offers some beautiful shops a port and beaches there is a bus service from Pinoso. should you not wish to drive
Murcia is another large beautiful town a little further than Alicante but well worth a day out.
Benidorm and Terra Mittica are an hour and a half away should you yearn for the bright lights
You can also get the train from Villena, park at the station free, and have a day out in Valencia, or should you be feeling a little more adventurous leave early in the morning catch the 7.30am train to Madrid arriving at 10.40am and get the train back in the evening at 19.40 arriving back in Villena at 22.50, a long and tiring day but Madrid is worth it and there is none of the hassle that you get when driving,trains here are comfortable, cheap and mostly run on time
You can be quiet and relax or as energetic as you like here in Raspay.
