INTRODUCTION
The Marina Alta is more than a beautiful Mediterranean region—it is a landscape layered with stories, best understood not in passing, but through time and attention.
This book is structured as a series of focused, in-depth guides, each one offering a unique way of seeing.
From the fortified Baroque hermitage of San Vicente Ferrer in Teulada, to the parish churches of Benimaurell, Campell, Beniarbeig, Parcent, and Alcalalí, these chapters move beyond surface impressions to explore architecture, symbolism, and the historical forces that shaped them.
The journey then opens out into landscape, with the royal marsh of Gandía revealed not just as scenery, but as a living, shifting environment rich in history and meaning.
At the heart of the book lies Gandía, a city closely tied to the powerful House of Borja. Here, the narrative deepens into a detailed and personal exploration of the Palacio Ducal de los Borja, presented through Karla’s artist’s guide—a perspective shaped by years of teaching and close observation. Rather than offering a conventional overview, this approach invites the reader to slow down and engage with each place as a layered experience.
Together, these guides form a cohesive journey through the Marina Alta, revealing not only what exists, but how to truly see it.
