Loquat with denomination of origin Food and drink · Bolulla, La Marina Baixa, Alicante Image of Bolulla, not of the place itself. The loquat of the Algar valley is covered by a designation of origin of its own. It is grown under netting to protect it from the wind and is picked by hand between April and June, when the skin reaches the orange tone and the flesh the right point of acidity.
