Aspe

Aspe is a genuine Spanish town, not a resort built around tourists. It is known for the table grapes grown here for generations, and for the old aqueduct in the countryside outside town. For anyone who wants to live in Spain rather than stay in it, that is exactly the appeal: a Friday market, schools, doctors, shops and a centre that stays alive all year. Aspe is fifteen minutes from Elche and about thirty from both the airport and the coast.
