What to see and do in Sanet y Negrals

Sanet y Negrals
Village
Sanet y Negrals is a municipality in the comarca of La Marina Alta, in the province of Alicante, with 712 inhabitants (INE 2025) over just 3.9 km², nestled against the foothills of the Sierra de Segaria and 10 km from the beach. At the top of the sierra are the remains of an ancient Iberian settlement, probably Edetan, from the 6th century BC, and the area is rich in archaeological finds: the Cueva Bolumini, remains of Arab terraces and those of what was once the sumptuous residence of the Arab prince Abd-El-Melichi Almuzafar, known as the Cadireta del Rei Moro. In 1997 a Roman funerary plaque from the 1st century AD was also discovered in the municipal area. In the village grows a century-old magnolia brought from America, considered the largest tree of its species in the province of Alicante.
The Magnolia of Sanet y Negrals
Nature
The Magnolia of Sanet y Negrals is a hundred-year-old tree brought from America and considered the largest specimen of its species in the province of Alicante. It is of notable botanical interest: it belongs to a group of species that predate the appearance of bees, so its flowers evolved to be pollinated by beetles, and it develops hard carpels that prevent them from deteriorating. Fossils of the species Magnolia acuminata up to 20 million years old have been found, while the magnolia family dates back some 95 million years.
