The Valencian Community, famed for its Mediterranean coastline, also harbours a rich interior dotted with 59 municipalities characterised by their viticultural heritage. These wine region villages, with an average population of 8,523, present a diverse landscape ranging from 15 metres to 908 metres above sea level. This altitude variation contributes to the distinct character of the wines produced in the region. Consider Villena, in the Alt Vinalopó comarca, a prime example, where the legacy of winemaking intertwines with historical significance; the town is also known for El Tesoro de Villena, a major European prehistoric gold find.
