Traditional Vega Baja market town on the Segura river with year-round local life, Sunday Rastro market, and strong value compared to the coast—popular base for golf and beach access.
Facts
Rojales sits on the Segura river in the heart of the Vega Baja, known for its famous Sunday Rastro market and traditional Spanish atmosphere. Expect strong inland value around €1,650/m² (townhouses, apartments and reformed village properties; golf-adjacent stock trades higher). Alicante–Elche airport ~40–45 min via AP-7. Rentals are steady year-round with good winter-sun demand from the established expat community.
