The municipalities that have joined the "Mancomunitat" form an area of great scenic beauty and high ecological value. From the shoreline coves of Benissa to the high peaks of Castell de Castells one mountain and valley leads on to the next, but it is actually the river, with its calm summer waters and raging autumn floods, which acts as the real spine connecting and sustaining La Vall.
Woods of pines, holm oak and ash groves and the occasional specimen of yew or strawberry tree fill this landscape with a special colour, coexisting on mountain slopes with terraces edged with broad limestone borders, a vestige of former ages. Many still today have their plantations of almond, olive and ancient carob trees, and it is common to find ruins of cattle folds or sheds as well as a well or spring here and there.
On the plain, watchful steeples poke out above the villages, with their narrow streets and whitewashed fronts, surrounded by orange groves or vines, depending on the local farming speciality.
