About Mutxamel
Mutxamel is a historically agricultural town of around 28,600 people, about 10 km from central Alicante, that has grown into part of the Alicante metropolitan area. Most of the municipality is flat, with small sierras to the west. The centre is built around the church of El Salvador, begun in 1511, whose Gothic bell tower was raised to warn of pirate raids. Our homes are not in the centre but in the hills north-west of town, towards Jijona. There is no beach. Evenings are low-key, except in September, when Moros y Cristianos takes over.

Mutxamel villa holidays: questions answered
How far is Mutxamel from the beach?
It has none of its own. The beaches at El Campello are about 8 minutes by road from the town, and further from the homes in the hills.
When is Moros y Cristianos in Mutxamel?
From 7 to 13 September, in honour of the patron, the Virgen de Loreto. Around 5,000 people take part in a festival held since the late 19th century, so the town centre is at its busiest that week.
Can a big group stay in Mutxamel?
Yes, but only in one house. One home sleeps a large party, the others suit four or so, and all have a private pool.
