Formentera del Segura is one of the many villages that together make up the area known as ¨Vega Baja¨. It is situated on the left bank of the river Segura and just 10 minutes from the estuary at Guardamar. The village is divided into two nucleuses by the road identified as CV905 five minutes from Almoradi & 20 Km from the town of Elche.
Historically the village was founded in 1731 thanks to the impact of Señor de Formentera, but it wasn’t until 1840 that it was recognised as a population centre with the inauguration of the parochial church.
With the 2nd Republic & La Ley Mendizábal, this liberated the village from the church and nobles marked the start of economic development of the village. In a marble sarcophagus within the church were held the remains of Conde de Algorfa, until in 1964 they were transferred to the municipal cemetery.
The are numerous festivals & cultural events to enjoy such as ¨Dia de la Bicicleta¨, which is celebrated the first weekend in May and also in May we have the patron ¨Virgen de la Purisima Concepcion¨ with attractions like cross and a procession involving all the inhabitants of the village. Also at the end of August and in honour of San Miguel & San Roque are other popular local festivals. It finishes with a procession in their honour on Sunday and on Monday they celebrate the day of the sardines and the wine.
We cannot forget to mention the typical gastronomy of the region which can be enjoyed in the various restaurants of the village, the stews and rice dishes being the most significant, which also benefits the principal activity of the village which is agriculture, citrus fruits, cereal crops and vegetables. Finally we inform you of the great tradition of producing and bottling of honey from the Vega Baja region.
Brisas del Mar brings this typical Spanish village closer to a European public who wish to mix with the Spanish lifestyle away from the masses of tourists of the areas close by, without forgetting how close we are to the, beach, golf courses & airports.
We offer you two blocks of apartments with 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms, community swimming pool, electrical kitchen appliances and underground parking included in the price.
