Callosa d'en Sarrià

An inland town where the Algar's springs, channels and terraces support a protected wetland, a working irrigation landscape and the Marina Baixa's níspero crop.

Springs, terraces and fruit

A town built around the movement of water

Callosa d'en Sarrià stands where the Algar and Guadalest river systems cross a steep limestone landscape between the coast and the higher Marina Baixa.

Upstream springs feed waterfalls and old channels, then the same water helps sustain terraced orchards whose most distinctive crop is the protected Nísperos Callosa d'en Sarrià.
