Rojales

Rojales - The beautiful town of Rojales, just inland from Guardamar del Segura on the southern Costa Blanca, Spain, is a traditional farming village. Lying as it does on the banks of the Segura River, water has played an important part in its past and present history. Present day Rojales has been able to combine its tradition and culture with a more modern lifestyle. Now a popular location for both holiday homes and for people settling permanently in the area, some 4,000 families have chosen to make Rojales their home. Its current population is around 8,000 people, though this rises to 30,000 during the holiday period.

The history of Rojales can be traced back to the Neolithic Era and the Bronze Age when small groups of huts were gathered close to the River Segura.

The town itself appears to have been founded by the Moors during the Arab conquest (8th - 13th Centuries) and they were responsible for a complex irrigation system, traces of which still remain today.
