Chilches Hotels and Accommodation

Chilches, or Xilxes in the Catalan/Valencian language spoken there, is a small Spanish seaside town of about 2,800 inhabitants. It is located in Spain's autonomous community of Valencia. This delightful village is situated between the mountains and the sea, which gives it a warm and pleasant microclimate. It was founded by the Romans in 201 AD, Muslims took it over after the fall of the Roman empire, until the city's reconquest by the Spanish Christian kings in 1238. Like many other towns in Valencia, Chilches derives a substantial income from growing and exporting oranges and other citrus fruit. Lately, it's become something of a popular tourist destination, due to the rich history of its Roman, Muslim, and Christian inhabitants.
