Why move to Els Poblets
Move to this tranquil coastal town for the fine views, beautiful climate and excellent value for money.
Els Poblets, also known as Setla, Mira-rosa i Miraflor, is a sleepy coastal town located in the northeast of the province of Alicante. This quiet town is close to the towns of El Verger and Denia and overlooks the Mediterranean sea. Visitors and residents enjoy plenty of sun throughout the year, with mild and short winters and hot and long summers.
The area is peppered with interesting historical references: Roman settlements, Moorish towers, and even its beach. The Playa de la Almadraba, which runs along the mouth of the River Girona, takes its name from a Moorish word for an old Phoenician tuna fishing technique. This tranquil pebbled beach is a well-kept secret where you are unlikely to find much competition for the perfect spot. Watersports lovers are well-advised to sample the Almadraba’s warm, calm waters too.
