The heritage and landscape of Monóvar can be explored through Azorín House Museum, Monóvar Castle and historic centre. These places support an itinerary centred on local heritage, farming and dry landscapes rather than a generic description of the destination.

Practical information
Half a day is normally enough for the centre and its main sight; extend the route when adding rural paths or a nearby town. Check opening times, avoid the hottest hours and respect farmland and irrigation features. When combining the town with another municipality, allow for real driving time rather than adding too many stops.
