Tabarca Island

A paradise treasure very close

Its waters are Marine Reserve of the Mediterranean for its excellent quality and the biodiversity of its flora and fauna.

The island of Tabarca is the only inhabited island of the Valencian Community and is opposite the city of Alicante, eleven nautical miles and near the Cape of Santa Pola. Actually more than an island, it is a small archipelago, composed, apart from Tabarca, by the islets La Cantera, La Galera and Nao. It is approximately 1,800 meters and a maximum width of about 400 meters. Its coasts sheltered in the past a refuge of Berber pirates. In the eighteenth century, Charles III ordered to fortify it and build in it a village in which to accommodate several families of fishermen from Genoa who were held captive in the Tunisian city of Tabarka. The walls that surround its urban nucleus have been declared Historical Artistic Set and Well of Cultural Interest.
