Pilar de La Horadada

Pilar de La Horadada is on the border of Alicante and Murcia regions and one of 27 villages in the Vega Baja not far from the Rio Seco (Dry River). This lovely village has a nickname – The Drilled One because it has a Watchtower with a hollow middle.

The local economy is based on tourism and the farming of broccoli, celery and lettuces. You will see beautiful chrysanthemums, gladioli and roses being grown and flourishing in this idyllic climate.

The town has a great parade of shops and some first class restaurants. In particular there are a couple of excellent shoe shops and a tourist office with really helpful staff.

Pilar has a reputation for putting on some of the best fiesta in the area, something the Pilar people are very proud of.

The nearest beach is at Mil Palmeras (1,000 palms) – fantastically soft sand and crystal clear water. There are excellent facilities on the beach including wheelchair friendly access down to the water.

There is a fantastic football academy at Pilar - Charlton Athletic European Soccer School was launched by Addicks first-team manager Alan Curbishley in May 2004 and runs courses for children between 6 and 16.

If you have a budding footballer in the family you might want to contact the academy.
