Atzúbia is a town in the Valls de Pego subregion, in Marina Alta. In the past it was called Atzúbia dels Roques or Vila dels Roques.
The orography of the term favors cycling and hiking. The Tossal del Llop, camping area, should be highlighted among its sites; the Serra de l'Orxa, the Serra de la Safor, the Bassiets cave and, the most well-known, the Canelobre.
Despite the evidence of the passage of Iberians and Romans, the origin of the population is Arab. Jaume I ceded it in 1258 to Arnau de Romaní. Later he would create the barony of Forna for his son. In 1602 it was inhabited by 6 families, but in 1609 it remained depopulated after the expulsion of the Moors; it was repopulated in 1611 by Francesc Roca with Majorcans. It has belonged to the Cruïlles (16th century), the Figuerolas (17th century) and the Julià family and the baron of Santa Bárbara (19th century). In 1845, the municipality gathered 150 dry-land workers with a small garden irrigated by the Forna laundry, in its mountains it owned two mineral coal mines, two algeps quarries, six kilns for baking it, three sand quarries and 200 heads of woolly cattle. In 1911 Forna and Atzúbia merged to form a single municipality.
It has a population of less than a thousand inhabitants, many of them foreigners, spread over the two population centers: Atzúbia and Forna.
