Hotels in Rojales

Rojales

Rojales is a municipality in the Vega Baja del Segura comarca of the province of Alicante, on the banks of the river Segura, which crosses its old core for two kilometres on its last stretch to the Mediterranean. A stone bridge built under King Charles III in the 18th century still stands and is fully in use. Services and tourism now drive the economy. Of its roughly 17,450 inhabitants, about 12,100 live in Ciudad Quesada, and foreign residents make up a very large share of the population. The town has a strong cultural life, with archaeological-palaeontological, Holy Week and market-garden museums and an ecomuseum. The theatre hosts a long-running national choral competition. The old Cuevas del Rodeo quarter has been restored as a home for craft workshops. La Marquesa is one of the oldest golf courses in the province. Rojales suits golfers and those who want a residential base between the sea and the salt lagoons. Alicante-Elche is the closest airport.
