Llíber
Village
A municipality in La Marina Alta, situated in the Valle de Pop, where the Jalón or Gorgos river receives the Barranco del Cau, between the heights of la Penya Roja and el Tossal del Cau. Conquered in 1256 by James I, it later belonged to the lordship of the Martorell family and, from 1444, to the lords of Híjar and the Duke of Almodóvar; in 1609 it had 25 morisco households and was a dependency of Jalón. It was repopulated around 1611 with families arriving from Majorca to occupy the houses and terraced plots left by the expelled moriscos, the origin of its surnames and of the 'salty' speech preserved for generations; its church was built over an old mosque around 1535 and was a dependency of the parish of Xaló until 1903. Its economy is dryland farming, with grapes, raisins, muscat and almonds. It has 882 inhabitants (INE 2025).
Church of San Cosme y San Damián de Llíber
Monument
Raised on the remains of a former mosque and converted into a Christian church around 1535, for centuries it was a chapel of ease of the parish of Xaló until it became independent in 1903.
The Mallorcan resettlement of the Vall de Pop
Historical milestone
The cartas pueblas granted around 1611 brought families who came from Mallorca to occupy the houses and the terraces that the expelled Moriscos had left. From that origin come surnames, cultivation techniques and the salat speech preserved for generations.
