Towns of South-East Spain - Costa Blanca South

Los Montesinos

Los Montesinos is on the CV-945 about 25 minutes from Alicante airport near Algorfa and Rojales to the north, San Miguel de Salinas to the south, Torrevieja to the west and Almoradi and Orihuela to the east, so in a great location with easy access via the very good local road network.

Los Montesinos has grown steadily in recent years and has become an independent municipality with its own mayor and town council.

The Greater Seat of the Sacred Heart is where a young oak tree was planted in memory of another centennial oak. The Nuestra Senora del Pilar church was built in 1886 and stands in the as the center point of the village. There is a very attractive square in the village with a modern and impressive building Ayuntamiento.

Los Montesinos has successfully managed to combine its important roots of growing citrus fruits and vegetables with modern day life and a degree of tourism. New settlers are attracted to the area because it retains the charm of a typical Spanish village.

The local restaurants provide a good selection of Spanish stews and rabbit dishes as well as the more modern tapas dishes, and the people of this lovely village really know how to put on a good fiesta. Make a note in your diary to visit Los Montesinos on the 30th July - the Day of Segregation which marks their independence. In October they have the fiestas to celebrate the Virgin del Pilar and La Romeria a La Marquesa in honour of Nuestra Virgin del Rosario. The 22nd November is the day of the Patron Saint, Santa Cecilia.

This is a gem of a town if you are thinking of moving to Spain permanently – you will be made very welcome and there is a good infrastructure of nearby schools and medical facilities as well as all of the necessary shops and amenities.
