Our tour guide, Ángel of Blue Med Tours, is simply one of the nicest, most knowledgeable tour guides we’ve ever met. He was professional, funny, and engaging. He took us around Novelda to see the Casa-Museo Modernista, a breathtakingly beautiful home; the Castillo de La Mola, a Gaudi-like, fantastical Santuario de Santa Maria Magdalena; and the Casino (with a catas tasting included). We went with a group of friends and colleagues --- Univ of Alicante and Univ of South Florida --- it was a magical day!
