Living under a blue sky

Mahonia (Oregon Grape)

Plants for Moraira Properties

This is very distinctive plant and gives a beautiful splash of colour in the winter with bunches of yellow flowers in spikes on the tops of the branches. The plant has dark prickly leaves similar to holly but not quite so prickly and when the flowers have finished, produces blue-black berries which are popular with birds.
It makes a beautiful ornamental plant in any moraira or javea garden and is available at most garden centres.

Alleluja bar courtyard

This bar is full of atmosphere and is run by “Holy Joe”, a very interesting and flamboyant guy.
The bar is situated opposite the main car park in Jalon.

At mid-day they serve salads and entremeses, wines, beers and other drinks and if you are lucky you may be there when there is music by Spanish guitarists and singers.

The bar also sells fruit in season, nuts, dried fruits, wines, local pottery and other products.

The prices are very reasonable.

In summer there is a pleasant vine covered terrace at the back where it is most enjoyable to sit and have a drink and/or lunch.

Jalon Valley Wine

For anyone interested in wines the Co-operativa in Jalon is well worth a visit.
It was built 60 years ago; since then has been refurbished and in 2007 obtained silver and bronze medals. Two wines were recently recognised as on a national level with the city of Cordoba. It is very famous for moscatel.

The wine growers from Jalon, Llíber and Alcalali take their grapes to be processed here and they use as much as 2,200,000 kilos of grapes.

If you visit the Co-operative you can taste many of the wines
