Busot

Local Information

Busot is a small, yet charming village near to El Campello with 1,500 inhabitants whose houses are grouped around a hill topped by a 12th century Moorish castle. The ruined castle formed part of Alicante's medieval defence system. Busot is situated within sight of the sierra known as the Cabeco d' Or (Golden Hill) which has beautiful views over Campello and neighbouring towns near to Alicante.

Being well signposted, Busot can be found 24km from Alicante City and 40km from Benidorm, sitting in a vast and beautiful wilderness which is both peaceful and refreshing with it's lack of building works which is seen so much along the coast of Alicante.

The famous Canalobre caves are located about 3km from the village and provide an awe-inspiring view across several towns and villages nearby. Driving to the caves, the views are stunning as the boundless, barren countryside stretches out as far as the eye can see below. Endless rows of craggy mountains complete the picturesque views and they are at their most spectacular as the sun sets behind the breathtaking mountain ranges.
