Though always open to innovation, village life in Albuñol maintains a respect for the lifestyle inherited from earlier generations. The visitor here rapidly becomes accustomed to the tranquil, welcoming atmosphere of this village, while on the long beaches there are still places where one feels away from it all and at peace with the whole world.

The seaside, though, is just one aspect of the good life offered to the visitor in Albuñol. Those who like to walk in the countryside will be well satisfied with the possibilities in this area, where the hilly landscape offers a great variety of paths and trails. The one known as Ruta de los Angosturas is of particular interest, passing through areas of different local microclimates.

The Moorish dynasty of the Nasrids, which had such a profound impact on the area, has bequeathed an irrigation system that is still in use, linking canals to working flour mills, which are today both practical and evocative of the past.
