Välkommen till Pego
As well as being beautiful, Pego is one of the best examples of a Spanish village that has managed to keep its identity whilst welcoming a broad international community.
As soon as you arrive through the town’s final surviving medieval gate it’s clear that you’re in a town steeped in history and beauty. Head for the central square with its gorgeous fountain and discover a friendly atmosphere where people talk and children play in the shade of the trees.
Pego is the fiesta capital of the region, with an event taking place every month. Food is hugely important here as you’ll find when you visit one of the town’s excellent restaurants or bars offering more varieties of paella than Heinz do beans. After all of this you might want to walk it off in the surrounding countryside filled with the orange groves, or up into the mountains for truly breathtaking views.

Community
Pego is a cosmopolitan community of around 10,000 people. Although it has become popular with incomers from northern Europe, the town still has a distinctly Spanish feel with around 80% of inhabitants hailing from Spain.
Property
There are a mixture of traditional townhouses and modern apartments in town and larger villas on the outskirts. This is a popular location so prices aren’t the cheapest on the Costa Blanca.
Amenities
This lively town is chock full of bars, restaurants, shops, banks and a weekly market. Pego also has a sports centre with tennis courts and a swimming pool and there are several golf courses in easy reach.
Transport
The airports of Alicante and Valencia are both around 60 minutes drive. If you do not have your own transport, there is a reliable local bus service connecting you with the cities and many of the local towns and villages.
Health
There is a public health centre in Pego but if you need more specialist care the closest hospital is in Denia, which is a 20 minute drive.
Cost of Living
With its mainly Spanish population, Pego avoids some of the premium prices you might experience in the resorts along the coast and with an excellent weekly market you should be able to keep costs down.
