Calles de Biar

Biar, nestled in the province of Alicante, Spain, is a hidden gem for photo-travelers, offering a blend of medieval charm and natural landscapes. The centerpiece is the Castillo de Biar, a 12th-century Moorish fortress perched atop a hill, providing panoramic views of the town and surrounding countryside - a perfect spot for capturing sunrise or sunset shots. Wander the narrow, winding streets of the old town to find picturesque houses, historic churches like the Iglesia de la Asunción, and beautifully preserved sections of ancient walls. Biar's position on the Sierra de Mariola offers ample hiking opportunities, where the almond blossoms in early spring and the changing colors of autumn foliage create stunning photographic scenes. Don't miss the local fiestas, particularly the Moros y Cristianos in May, for vibrant processional photos.
