Nice town worth a visit. If you head south, you will come to La Mejorada park, where there is a rest area with picnic tables and drinking fountains.

The Pétrola Lagoon is one of the most important wetlands in the province. The water becomes saltier than the sea! A perfect place for bird watching, including flamingos.

The church was built at the end of the 17th century and was finished at the end of the 18th century, thus combining the classical Baroque style and the romantic classicism.

A small town with a population of about 1,300. The Pétrola lagoon is an ideal place for bird watching such as flamingos, gray herons, peregrine falcons, and marsh harriers.

Among the sights in Alpera is the Alpera Castle, a fortress built in the 14th century that dominates the historic center and offers panoramic views. Another highlight in Alpera is the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, which dates back to the 16th century and features an impressive Baroque altarpiece. It is also interesting to visit the house-museum of the Pardo family, a traditional house in the area that has been restored and turned into an ethnographic museum. In addition, Alpera is an ideal place for wine lovers, since it has several wineries and wine cooperatives that offer guided tours and wine tastings.
