Agost is a traditional Spanish village located just 18 km from Alicante city and close to the stunning Sierra del Maigmó natural park. With its rich ceramic heritage, peaceful lifestyle, and friendly community, Agost offers the ideal blend of authentic Spanish culture and modern convenience — without the crowds of coastal tourism.

Because it sits inland, Agost has preserved its local character, relaxed pace of life, and wonderfully Spanish atmosphere, while still being only 25–30 minutes from beaches, Alicante airport and the city centre.

These same lands have led to the cultivation of vineyards, that run throughout the municipality and make it possible for Agost to belong to the area of Protected Designation of Origin for the Uva de Mesa Embolsada.

Here, you can stroll through narrow streets, visit artisan workshops, and enjoy a genuine Spanish village life where tradition still matters.
