Jalón, also known as Xalo in the local Valencian dialect, is an inland village approx 10 minutes from Calpe. The valley is extremely well known for its local produce including the famous Jalon Wine produced by the local Co-operative wine cellar and harvested from the grape vines grown within the Valley. The Jalon Valley’s strategic location means that Jalon and the surrounding areas have the use of two international airports; Alicante at just 70km or 1 hours drive, and Valencia at approx 90km, or one and a half hours drive.

Calpe (Calp) has one of the nearest beaches to the Jalón Valley. This once sleepy fisherman’s village has, over the years, expanded into a town that offers something for everyone. From a variety of shops to restaurants offering the freshest sea food, water sports from snorkelling to scuba diving, sailing to SUP (stand up and paddle)- Calpe really does offer something for you and at just 10 minutes to Jalon (on the N332) very conveniently located.

Keeping things Fresh!

Things in the Cases Xalo office have been busy recently, especially after the summer break! Not only catching up but we started a new advertising campaign which created a network between all the local estate agents .- a fantastic advertising tool especially when you consider that many properties have been on the market for over a year. I focused in particular on advertising and promoting these properties to other agents who may not necessarily operate in the Jalon Valley who are not only extending their property portfolio but also looking on behalf of their clients.


As many of you will know Cases Xalo now have a newly designed website where all the properties are automatically listed on the front page on a rotating system.

Under the SPanish Summer Sun !

Summer has hit the Costa Blanca taking no prisoners. With the thermometers hitting the 30's or 40º every day for the past few weeks its hard to imagine the wet winter that we just had. It's very easy to loose your head in this heat and forget about winter, especially if its your first time looking to buy property in Spain.

Always remember that Spain has more than one season and whilst its lovely to sit out in the sun you will also want areas of shade. Many clients dismiss properties because they have a shady garden but look at the positive, in summer you will have a very welcoming seating area!

Also many clients who look in summer are asking for swimming pools. Now a villa with a pool is a dream for many people but is the pool necessary? Many of the homes are holiday homes and whilst your own private pool is very tempting the upkeep during the winter months and your absense may not be so inviting. Therefore a communal pool may be more advisable. Why? Well the cost of its upkeep is split between the homeowners which always guarantees a nice clean pool no matter the time of the year!

What ever property you are looking for Cases Xalo will be able to help. With a varierty of resale villas, townhouses, apartments and plots within the Jalon Valley, Orba Valley and Coastal areas including Javea (Xabia), Moraira, Benissa, Calpe (Calp) and Denia.

Provide us with your specifications and we will do the rest!

Don't be afraid to ask us about any aspect of living on the Costa Blanca as we will be able to guide you through: moving, buying, schooling (private or national), pool maintainence and even the best beaches!!

Buying Property in the Jalon Valley, Spain

Author: Emma

When considering buying a property abroad many people decide on the sunny climate and white san beaches that line the beautiful Costa Blanca in Spain. One of the most desirable areas of Spain is the stunning Jalon Valley. However, recent negative news reports have seen many potential buyers shun the area. So what is the truth to the beautiful Jalon Valley?

The Jalon Valley has some of the best scenery, and what's more this striking backdrop changes periodically with the seasons. In spring the almond blossom decorates the area with splashes of purple, pinks and white, whilst towards summer the orange trees blossom and the air is gently fragranced with citrus hints. Towards autumn the valley is green with the grape vines and the farmers are out harvesting their valuable crops. Whilst in winter we may be lucky enough to have a dusting of snow over the highest peaks – picture postcard just by looking out of your window!

When visiting the Jalon Valley, or after your relocation to the Costa Blanca, always take the opportunity to visit some of the historic areas, these include: the Fonts D'Algar, a natural fresh water spring which is luxurious in the summer: La Peñon de Ifach, walk to the top of the famous Calpe rock and enjoy the stunning 360º views and the village of Guadalest, with the lake views and super little gift shops this pedestrian only village shows us the techniques used in Spanish farming from yesteryear.

It is true that some people, who had a position of trust and authority, took advantage of both ex-pats and Spaniards alike by selling them properties that did not fulfil the legal requirements as stated by law. However, on the back of the unfortunate event that took place in the idyllic village of Lliber, those buyers who are investing in the beautiful Jalon Valley are now purchasing properties only after all the documentation has been thoroughly reviewed. Cases Xalo estate agents insist on checking a property's documentation on listing the property as well as prior to completing a purchase at the notary.

When purchasing in Spain it is important to purchase through a legal estate agent like Cases Xalo. Make sure that the estate agent is registered, look for a sticker on the door (API and AEGAI are some of the most popular governing bodies). Most estate agents will speak enough English to understand your requirements but make sure you hire a bi-lingual lawyer to review the documentation, Cases Xalo are able to introduce you to a lawyer who speaks your language. When looking at properties never feel pressured into buying, the agent should never push you in to buying and always go back for as many viewings as you feel you need.

Overall the Jalon Valley is still one of the most sought after locations in Spain to live. If you are thinking of buying, selling, renting or building in the Jalon Valley then contact Cases Xalo SL.

Christmas events in the Jalon Valley

Christmas is always a magical time in the Valley, with a number of festive activities taking place including theatre productions and shows. This year Parcent has adopted the "Christmas shopping in Parcent" iniciative. Similar to that of Jalon, all purchase receipts can be placed into a number of well positioned boxes with the possibility of winning up to 300 Euros!, whilst the charity Jalon Valley Help has a Christmas Bazaar and Fashion show taking place on the 2nd of December in Alcalali.

With the thermometers dropping there has been whispers of snow. We may not have the thick snow that has fallen over areas of the UK this week but the Valley has seen, in previous years, a dusting of the white stuff over the highest mountain peaks. There is nothing more surprising and pleasant then walking round the Jalon countryside, in warming sunshine admiring snow on various mountains.

Cases Xalo has seen a number of changes and updates to their property website recently so please have a look and if you do have any questions then please do ask!

Brits investing in Spain.

Good news from British shores. According to a survey carried out by a UK based estate agent, Spain is still one of the favourite destinations for British people to invest in. With three quarters of people in the UK believing that now is a good time to buy Spanish property.

Spain is also still one of the top tourist destinations. Its proximity to the UK, the climate, landscape and beaches make it ideal for the whole family.

Many Brits are currently looking at buying properties with the idea of renting them out for holidays or long term rentals. This is a fabulous way of investing money in Spain, or utilising your Spanish home to make an additional (yet welcomed) income.

Property prices have dropped in Spain, with many properties welcoming offers. However, if you do like a property then it is best to make an offer or register your interest, otherwise it will be snapped up by another investor!

If you are looking for Spanish property then please visit our website or email me (casesxalo@casesxalo.com) with your property requirements.
