What to do in Crevillent

However you enjoy spending your free time, Crevillent has got something for you. History buffs will be pleased to hear there are a number of museums to take a look around. Start at Museo Mariano Benlliure (a museum dedicated to the great sculptor), before making your way to Museo Arqueológico (the archaeological museum) and Museo de las Fiestas (museum of the town’s festivals). And make sure you don’t miss the archaeological remains at Penya Negra, an important site dating all the way back to the Iberian period. 

If you appreciate fine artisanship, delve into the world of Crevillent’s rugs which are famed in the local textile industry. And if you enjoy savouring the finer things in life, make sure you try a coca (a pastry similar to a pizza) topped with anchovies, sardines or vegetables. 

Crevillent also has a lot to offer lovers of the great outdoors. Take a stroll around Els Pontets in search of that perfect shot or roam the Sierra de Crevillent mountainscape where you will be immersed in beautiful scenery and treated to spectacular views. El Hondo is another area of natural beauty defined by its many plant and wildlife species.
