An unheralded gem

Image
Twenty minutes drive from the over built traffic strewn eyesore of Benidorm in Spain is a tiny little paradise. It is called Fonts d'Agar. Here it is possible to swim in the flowing waters of a river which rises in the mountains around Valencia, even at the height of the summer. There is a charge as the local authority has created walkways and bridges to take you along the banks of the river safely. It is worth it and although the falls are popular it never seems to be over crowded despite its proximity to Spain's over-blown resort.
