This part of Xàbia preserves its distinctive mediaeval layout, featuring a network of narrow streets with white façades, arched doorways, Gothic windows, and wrought-iron grilles, all adorned with the characteristic rough stone of the region.

In the centre of the town stands the Church of Sant Bertomeu, built between the 14th and 16th centuries; a fine example of Isabeline Gothic architecture. In the same square, one can observe two different styles of houses: Palau dels Sapena (15th century) and Casa dels Bolufer (18th-19th centuries). On either side of the church, there is the municipal market called Mercat Municipal d’Abastiments (1946) and the Town Hall (18th century, renovated in the 20th century), respectively.

From here, walking along Carrer Primícies, the tour arrives at the Soler Blasco Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum, located in the 17th-century palace of Antoni Banyuls. Continuing along Carrer Major, next stop is Casa de Tena (1867), currently the Ca Lambert exhibition hall. A few metres away, on Carrer d’Avall, there is the Chapel of Santa Anna. Descending along Carrer Major leads to Plaça del Convent, where the Convent of the Augustinian Sisters is situated.

Going up Avinguda Príncep d'Astúries, one reaches the reconstruction of a section of the mediaeval walls. From here, it is possible to gain access to the park known as Parc Montaner, where one can see the "riurau" of the Català d’Arnauda family, relocated from its original location. This structure is the most representative example of the importance that the raisin trade gained in the region. (1)
