Castalla is a municipality in the region of La Hoya de Alcoy and is the capital of the sub-region of La Hoya de Castalla. The most remarkable thing about this town is its beautiful castle, which is located on a promontory 780 meters above sea level. In addition, its old town is worth a walk to visit the different plazas and Carrer de les Tronetes.
