Summer is once again around the corner, and even though this year is a little different because of COVID-19, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a great time from your home at Cumbre del Sol. To make our summer more enjoyable, the Poble Noe de Benitachell Town Hall has launched a “Literature Online” programme through the municipal library.
This initiative aims to bring literature into homes across the municipality in the most entertaining way possible. From Thursday, June 11th to the 13th of August, the town hall will upload literary video workshops to its YouTube channel and social media profiles. “Literature Online” will delve into two main themes: literature-inspired recipes and feminist literature.
“Literature Online” Schedule Poster
First of all, the literary-inspired recipe workshops are designed to make the summer a blast for all the kids at home. These videos will also shine a spotlight on some of the most famous literary works. Children will learn to cook alongside Harry Potter, Games of Thrones and Don Quixote of La Mancha. Get ready and don’t miss out on this literary opportunity on the following Saturdays at 11:30 am: June 13th, July 11th and August 8th!
This programme will also feature reviews of the most important literary works that feature women as their main protagonists. These video-workshops will include the following books: We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie; A Room of One’s Own by the famous British writer, Virginia Woolf; Like Water for Chocolate, an intense novel by the Mexican author, Laura Esquivel; and The Feminine Mystique by Pulitzer Prize winner, Betty Friedman. The workshops will be uploaded at 7:00 pm on Thursday, June 11th and 25th, July 16th, and August 13th. Don’t forget to write it down so you don’t miss it!
Furthermore, the fun doesn’t have to stop when the videos are over. You can also send in photos and videos of your recipes, as well as participate in debates and conversations about the books that were reviewed.
You’ll be able to immerse yourself in the greatest literary works and enjoy yourself to the fullest this summer, and all of this without having to leave home! Whether you’re on your terrace, sunbathing by the pool or lounging in your spacious dining room, you’ll be able to make the most of your two greatest passions: literature and summer on the Costa Blanca.

If there is anything that truly characterises the Costa Blanca, it’s the excellent quality of life and wellbeing provided by the warm Mediterranean climate, as well as its rich culture and varied gastronomy, all of which are a big attraction both for tourists and for inhabitants of the area.
Thanks to its weather conditions, it’s no surprise that on the Costa Blanca there is a great wine tradition which brings together wines of very different characteristics. Among these, the production of Moscatel wine stands out. Made with the Moscatel grape, it is one of the most characteristic wine varieties in the Marina Alta region. If you would like a unique experience and the chance to discover one of the most deep-rooted traditions in the area, don’t hesitate! Throw yourself into a route that will take you to taste Moscatel with all five senses.
Live this experience on a guided walking tour on which you will learn techniques for the cultivation and collection of grapes from professionals in the sector and taste the best examples from the region.
This route, created by the BioMoscatell project along with farmers from the area, aims to create a comprehensive experience in which visitors don’t only taste Moscatel wine, they immerse themselves in the process of creating this delicious wine by employing all five senses.
Through sight and touch, you will experience the pruning and collection of the grapes in an unrivalled environment with views of the Mediterranean.
Through taste and smell, you will savour products derived from Moscatel and participate in a tasting of wine and Mistela in the Benitatxell Municipal Market.
So, what about the fifth sense? Through sound, you will hear the magical sounds of nature which surround the vineyards and the process of grape collection.
If you want to enjoy an unforgettable day, don’t miss this unique experience! It costs €35 and takes place from February to May, from 11:00 to 14:30. Routes are offered in English, Spanish, and Valencian. To book your place or get more information, send an email to info@moscatell.org or call directly on 615 398 238 or 96 649 35 46.

Christmas is still in the air! And, in Benitatxell, this year it’s more noticeable than ever: in addition to the programme of events, the Reyes Association has been formed once more, aiming to fill Benitatxell’s streets and houses with magic. Something new for this year is the creation of a tent in Plaça de les Pesqueres which aims to encourage the participation of residents and will become a meeting point during this special time.
This Christmas period, it’s all about the little ones in the house! On the 2nd January, children can give their letters to the messenger who will send them to the Three Wise Men so that they can get the presents ready in time.
The Three Wise Men will arrive in Benitatxell on Saturday 5th January at 6:30pm. Their route will begin at the town hall and they will be accompanied by all those who want to join them to the Plaça de les Pesqueres where they will give out presents for the little ones. Since we are all young at heart, don’t miss this parade! Benitatxell is home to people from all over the world and Three Kings Day is a memorable event and a time to appreciate one of the most important Spanish traditions. It’s an experience which must be enjoyed at least once in a lifetime!
In addition, here at VAPF we believe that while Cumbre del Sol Residential Resort is a spectacular place to live all year long, during the Christmas period its magic is clearer than ever. Come to enjoy it with us!
