In the inland part of the province of Alicante, a border area in the past, we can find many towns and villages which preserve ancient Muslim castles.

These towns are set around those castles, such as Biar, Villena, Castalla, Sax...Definitely, visiting those castles and towns is the best way to understand the great Arab influence on our architecture and customs.
