Excursions
On the boarder between 3 provinces, Biar is on a crossroads that connects with the rough region of the Sierra de Mariola, whichs connects it to interresting places as Banyeres, Bocairent(in Valencia);
with the Sierra de Aitana, through villages like Ibi, Castalla, Alcoi and with the Vinalopó valley, on the natural way to the sea with interresting towns like Villena, Sax, Novelda...until Elche and Alicante. Each of these places have a rich History that, from the Palaeolithic has been enriched by the different people who inhabited the area (Iberians, Phoenicians, Romans, Muslims..) A broad variety of civilisations of which you can see samples in museums od archaeology in Villena (splendid Iberian gold treasure), Alcoi, Bocairent and Elche.
