Sax town - Alicante Province
Small and friendly town
Lovely inland villages, beautiful weather: this is Alicante
Sax can be found between Villena and Elda alongside the Alicante-Madrid motorway.
An interesting area of south east Spain, with several ancient castles in the vicinity. The town is really not much bigger than a village, the population being 8,500.The locals are extremely friendly and the town contains some very nice restaurants; one of our favourite places to stop for a menu del dia.

Sax is very well positioned for travelling to Madrid, Valencia, Murcia and Alicante, having some very good roads connecting in the area.
The Alenda golf course is approximately 10 minutes drive along the Madrid-Alicante motorway and there are several large towns within a few minutes drive. Here you can find tranquillity without being isolated.
