But if that's not your thing you can lie back by the pool reading a book and Nicky and the team will take care of whatever you need.

EAT
Xaló has fiestas throughout the year (1st weekend in May, first 10 days in August & 3rd weekend in October) with various activities including bull running, processions, wine tasting, fun runs, giant paellas and partying until the sun comes up.
The team can provide information on all that's going on during fiesta time and can arrange tickets and for you to join in like a local if you fancy!
FIESTA
Set in a wine making valley it goes without saying wine is just part of the culture. Trips to the bodegas (wine shops) are always interesting where you can usually sample the wines before buying (at very good prices). Other activities such as group wine tastings (at the Cooperativa), a tour of the local bodegas (Pepe Mendoza, Bodegas Riko or Gutierrez de la Vega) and, in mid to late September, grape 'stomping' can be arranged at an old wine museum (Masserof).
WINE
This is a renowned area for cycling. There are 6 mountain bikes at Cuatre Finques for you to use (free of charge) on the easier routes around the valley and vineyards. For the more serious cyclists or if you prefer something a little more challenging there is bike hire locallywn (priced at around 20-30€ per day). There are many great mountain tracks and the mountain roads are excellent.
CYCLE
There are so many lovely walks in and around the Xaló Valley, even straight from your bedroom door. We can recommend different routes and provide useful maps. And if you would prefer one of our staff can accompany you as a guide and explain about the local flora and fauna along the way (29€ per walk of ~1-2hrs).
WALK
There are numerous Spanish towns within easy reach, many with interesting shops and boutiques. Try the old town of Altea for some wonderful one-off dresses or Denia's Marques de Campo for a true Spanish shopping experience with a wine & tapas along the way. On Saturday mornings you can walk the 800m from Cuatre Finques to the Xaló Rastro (flee market) for some great vintage curios. On the first Saturday of each month there is a farmer's market in the centre of town and every Tuesday the fruit & veg 'mercat'.
SHOPPING
There are lots of lovely beaches within easy reach of Cuatre Finques. Many can be reached within a 20-30 minute drive. There are large sandy beaches in Xabia, Calpe, Moraria & Denia, interesting little coves with 'chiringuito' beach bars in Benissa, or the crystal clear turquoise waters (great for snorkelling) at Granadella. Cuatre Finques can help you with information and directions to all the local beaches.
