Monovar

Monovar - The small but thriving town of Monovar lies deep within Spanish vineyard country. Famous for its fine red wines produced from the Monastrel grape, Monovar is a must visit place for wine lovers.

There were settlements in the area of Monovar as far back as the Neolithic Era and later there is some evidence of Roman occupation. Known history goes back to the Arab conquests (8th to 13th Centuries) and there exists remains of a fortified enclosure and castle. Freed from the Arab stranglehold by the christian king Jaime I in 1296, Monovar later became part of the kingdom of Valencia.

Wine production became very important in Monovar during the 19th Century when the vineyards of France were all but destroyed by an outbreak of Phylloxera.

Monovar is located on the CV83 between Pinoso and Elda about 34 km from Alicante.
