La Vall d'Ebo
Village
La Vall d'Ebo is a municipality in la Marina Alta, in the northeast of Alicante, with 231 inhabitants (INE 2025) and 32.4 km² watered by the Ebo or Girona river. Its municipal area contains Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Bronze Age remains, and the Fosca cave, a Palaeolithic site with engravings, has made it possible to date the Levantine art paintings of the Abric de les Torrunades, a World Heritage Site. Of the morisco alquerías in the valley, Ebó was the only one to survive the expulsion of 1609; after the revolt of Al-Azraq, its lord, Bernardo de Sarriá, repopulated it with Majorcans. Its economy has been based on dryland farming: olive, cereal, almond and carob. Beside the church of San Miguel Arcángel, from 1576, it retains the Cova del Rull, with stalactites and stalagmites in Miocene limestone conglomerates, open to visitors.
Church of San Miguel Arcángel de la Vall d'Ebo
Monument
The church of San Miguel Arcángel of the Vall d'Ebo, in the Marina Alta of Alicante, was built in 1576 and is in Baroque style; it holds inside a 17th-century carving of the Virgen de los Desamparados and is the main parish church of this farming municipality of Muslim origin, whose old population centres, known as alquerías and bearing place names such as Bisbilan, Benicid or Benicais, betray that Islamic origin. Vall d'Ebo was the only one of these settlements to survive the expulsion of the Moriscos in 1609, after being repopulated by its feudal lord, Bernat de Sarrià, with Christian settlers from Mallorca.
