Being a traditional Spanish village, life in Pego moves at a slower, more leisurely pace. The tradition of the siesta, between 1.00pm - 4.00pm is still honoured here. Located near the heart of the village you are only a short walk from the church, shops, cafes and restaurants. The nearest beach is only a 10-minute drive away. A short walk will also take you to the village's 2 open-air swimming pools that are open during the summer months. The village
Altea For the traveller requiring a livelier pace Pego is in a favoured location as it is near to busier resorts such as the port town of Denia with its water sports, Gandia, Valencia and Benidorm; the city that never sleeps being a 45 minutes drive away. Madrid is about 4 hours drive away. In our opinion, a visit to the lovely seaside towns of Javea (Xavier) and Altea are a must.
Driving along the the national road (N332), many stops can be made. Here you'll find a plethora of sandy beaches, restaurants, bars and shops, where real bargains can be found. Most shops have a wonderful choice of all things ethnic, from places as far away as Thailand, Africa and of course Spain. Again, a visit to the La Casbah, a huge converted nightclub that now sells wonderful objects for the home is an experience in itself. On leaving the village you will come to the local safari park, El Vergel. Shopping
The bay Alternatively a pleasant drive through the mountains and orange groves will take you to surrounding villages where the locals will welcome you to try a glass of sangria or some tapas.
