Enguera

Hi - just joined the forum. We have a place in Enguera. Its a little gem of a town. Beautiful medieval town centre - with all the amenities you could possibly want; lots of little shops and bars; excellent supermarket (Consume) and every facility you would need. The people are extremely friendly. Not that many English from what we've detected. A real sense of community in the town. Lots of festivals; very "family orientated". Beautiful church and convent.  Contact me if you need any more info. REgards, Sheila (currently in UK). 

Hi SheHen, welcome to EOS.

I've just Googled it as I didn't know where it is. I see it's inland from Gandia, which is further north of Denia & Javea on the Costa Blanca. It sounds beautiful, as many of the inland places away from the coast, are.

hi I have just booked a few days in a b and b halfway between enguera and ayora, I do not know the area at all as  I have a holiday home furthern south on the coast. We managed to get ryanair flights to valencia at 10pp return so have picked the enguera area to stay. Can you give us some places of interest to visit. We are there for 3 days in sept.

thanks

We live near Xativa , it´s only a short ride away from Enguera and the weather is very similar......yes, we do get snow in winter,  last winter it snowed on Dec 8th and was cleared by the 9th, There are some dull days in winter but there are also lots of sunny days as well. As a  general rule we tend to be 5 degrees warmer than on the coast during summer and 5 degrees cooler in the winter. The coast is more temperate BUT weather aside , if you intend living here then the "package" for living inland is far better than on the coast. A lot more house for your money, better lifestyle , better people , cheaper shops,bars and restaurants. ( if that is what you want ! ) . If you want the Brit bars and the nightlife , then look on the coast.

Just got back from wonderful 9 days in Enguera. Weather glorious.  Xativa is a nearby town - excellent to visit. Also, there's a lake at Anna and restaurants - popular on weekends with the Spanish. Ontinyent is about half an hour away - v. nice town with all the shops and amenities. Also Bocairent - a medieval town set on a hillside; We haven't explored it in full yet but intend to do so next trip.  There are estate agents in Enguera and Xativa. The church in Enguera is beautiful; there's also a convent and a tourist information office with further info on places of interest to visit.  Hope you enjoy your stay - and good luck with the house hunting.
