Adsubia (L’Atzubia): Quick Essential Tourist Guide From Locals

Enjoy our quick guide to Adsubia, a small village that lies a few kilometers away from Pego with the number of inhabitants reaching only more than 700 (INE 2012).

Below we feature an expat interview with Vanessa Crocker-Dean of Hello2Spain who covers the Adsubia (L’Atzubia) area.


Why Retirement is a Terrible Idea (And What to Do Instead)...

Watch the video below and let me know in the comments: are you ready to retire or are you ready to reinvent?


We asked Vanessa the major advantages of going to Adsubia and why people may consider moving into this area of Spain’s Costa Blanca as well as the value for money that they can get.

Forna adsubia and different nuclei were merged in 1911. They are two areas that show a great variety of landscapes, and a rich heritage with Templar castle and cave Forna Canalobres equipped with recreational and camping area on the Llop Tossal, plus hiking trails.
