La Nucia
La Nucia is a municipality in the Spanish province of Alicante in the region of Valencia with an area of 21 km². La Nucia has 19,967 inhabitants.
La Nucia is located about 10 km from Benidorm but it is still quiet and old-fashioned Spanish. La Nucia is located just a short distance from the tourist crowds.
The old center consists of car-free streets, but goes up and down a bit steeply. So it is best to leave your bike somewhere and explore the village on foot. It is a typical Spanish village with a cozy square in front of the church and a few restaurants. At the end of the old town there are also “miradors” to the village of Polop, and they are quite spectacular.
