A little inland from Villajoyosa following the river Sella to the Orcheta reservoir lies the little village of Orcheta. The only thing known about the village is that it was an outpost of the Templars during the middle ages. The glowing hillsides of Orcheta makes it a perfect region for persons who want peace and quietness and yet be only 15 minutes away from all the necessities of life and 45 minutes from Alicante airport.
