The traditional Spanish village of Orba lies at the base of the Vall de
Laguart, which adjoins the picturesque Jalon Valley. Outside Orba to the west
the Vall de Laguart rises high into the mountains and is the gateway to some
wonderful walks for the casual walker through to the serious hiker. The hamlets
of Campbell, Fleix and Benimaurell are rural Spain in its extreme and are precariously
perched on rocky outcrops. The area was the last bastion of the Moors in Valencia
before they were evicted from the region and the visitor is able to see how
easy the Moors were able to hide in the vast wilderness and underground caves.
Parcent is the first village encountered after descending the Coll de Rates
from the direction of Benidorm via Callosa d'En Sarriá. The village
is located in a green orchard in which almonds, oranges and vines abound. In
the words of Gabriel Miró, who lived in the village and whose house
still provides a reminder of his stay, Parcent is a 'Paradise between the Mountains'
and it was here that he wrote the book entitled 'Del vivir'. Parcent provides
access to the fertile Pop valley and the economy of the village essentially
resides in the growing of almonds and oranges. The famous traditional 'riu-raus'
where the raisins were dried can still be seen. Today it is more common for
the villagers to work on the coast whilst still maintaining their houses in
the village.
