To the north of the city of Alicante, you will find the small town of Tibi. Located in the Alicante province and within the famous Costa Blanca, Tibi is a small but historical town. Those wishing to travel to the town are advised to land at the Alicante airport as it is the nearest to the town. It will take only half an hour to travel from the airport to Tibi by car.
Tibi is one of Spain’s oldest towns and was established by the Arab rulers in the 8th century. Tibi was a strategically important town for the Christian rulers as it is on the border of Aragon and Castilla. The town’s buildings and monuments are a testament to the town’s past. The Castillo of Tibi is one of its oldest buildings and was built by the Moors. Today, the castle lies in ruins, perhaps as a symbol of the country’s feelings towards its invaders. The ruins tell the tale of the occupation and their architectural skills and styles.
The dam, called the Pantano de Tibi, is one of the oldest dams in the European region. It is an important source for many of the adjoining areas and has been working since the 16th century. The 19th century Parish church is the facous of most of the town’s religious festivals and celebrations. Like most of the Spanish towns, Tibi is also largely influenced by religious traditions. The parish church stands as a wonderful example of the architectural style of that era.
Public transport facilities are limited in this region so it will be a good ides to hire a car from the Alicante airport so you can drive yourself. This will not only free you from the troubles of searching for transport every time you want to go sightseeing but also provide you with the freedom of travelling as and when you wish.
