This
historical capital of the region, Foia de Castalla, has undergone an
economic evolution that has transformed it from a farming-based
district to an industrial centre and service provider. The village has
a well-preserved old centre with steep narrow streets that lead up to
the Preciosísima Sangre de Cristo (Blessed Blood of Christ) Hermitage
and the semi-ruined castle with its many holes dug by treasure hunters.
A forest area covers 51% of the extensive district where activities
such as walking and bicycle touring can be carried out. The Palacio de
los Rico, next to the Ayuntamiento, is worthy of note and hikes can be
made to the Hermitage de la Sang and the Moorish castle.
