Although during the Roman Age, Llíria, then known as Edeta, was the capital of Edetania, an important enclave, the first settlements in San Miguel´s hill date back many more centuries. The capital of Camp del Turia certainly has a privileged location. Throughout the years, its neighbors and citizens have preserved and increased a rich historic heritage together with one special element which has developed this city into the City of the Music: since one friar introduced musical activities, music has really taken off. Now, two schools, two bands and thousands of students provide sounds and melodies to the enclave, which transforms Llíria into an exceptional place.

Xàbia is situated between two points, the “La Nao” Cape and the “San Antonio” Cape. In all its extension and in each one of its three environments: the villa, the port and the sandy area, the population maintains a balance between the important traces of the civilisations that chose the area for a settlement, and the modernity of a contemporary tourist destination. In the old town are narrow streets of whitewashed houses with windows, stone doorways and balconies. The littoral is made up of, beaches, coves and select housing estates, joined together by a string of viewing-points.
