CALLOSA D'EN SARRIA is a small village near the seaside town of Altea (about 8 km). Callosa d'en Sarria earned its fame as the foremost grower in Spain of the fruit nisperos, considered to be a delicacy. The cultivation of nisperos in this region is possible thanks to the natural water springs of the Fonds d'Algar and to the special microclimate. The fruit is harvested in late April and early May.
The waterfalls at the Fonds d'Algar Park are also worth a visit. Visitors are treated to gorgeous natural waterfalls, spring waters and botanical cactus gardens. Spend a wonderful day at the park where restaurants offer dining, and the brave can take a swim in the spring waters.
