It is only 50 km away from Benidorm, 88 km from Alicante, 105 km from València, and 23 km from Dénia.The town is of moorish origin, like most towns in the Pop Valley. In 1609 more than 10,000 Moors of the Pop Valley resisted the decree of expulsion, and they gathered in the mountain of El Cavall Verd or el Pop. At the end, the moors gave up because they were running out of food, water, and basic supplies. After giving up, most of the moors were expelled after suffering high casualties. During this time there was an influx of peoples mainly from the Balearic Islands and Catalonia. In 1615 the town had a population of only 99 inhabitants, and it reached its peak in 1860 with almost 900 inhabitants. From the 1900s to 1960 the town lost 34% of its population, since most of the locals migrated to the U.S., France, Germany, and Argelia.
Today the village has approximately 600 inhabitants, according to the latest municipal census of the year 2009. About 34% percent of the population is foreign, mostly British, these newcomers which started to settle in the 1980s. But there is also a German and North American community in town. The district of Vernissa Park is largely English speaking, since most of the people living there are British. It is a very flat town surrounded by mountains, which one can find very enjoyable and relaxing. The main language spoken by its local inhabitants is the catalan language, also known as valencian, which the majority of the population speak and use as their main language. After the decree of the expelling of the Moors in 1609, the town was populated mostly by inhabitants from Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands. Most of the traditions of these settlers are still carried out today, together with the Catalan language that they brought with them.
The population has been increasing since 1998, since more of the newcomers started to register in the municipal town's census. Today the population of Benigembla is the most diverse population that has been since the existence of the town.

Parcent has a population of about 1100 and is about one hour's drive north of the city of Alicante. It features the small but beautiful Holy Virgin church, and is surrounded by rolling hills and mountains. Writer Gabriel Miró (1879-1930) was a resident of Parcent and called it a "paradise between the mountains".
It is also close to Jalon, which is famous for its excellent wine production and markets. The traditional economy of Parcent relies on almond and orange farming in the surrounding area. The name "Parcent" is of Latin origin. Later, it was a Moorish town until the forces of James I of Aragon conquered it in 1256 CE.
There was a major outbreak of leprosy in Parcent in 1850 and by 1887 20% of the residents of Parcent were afflicted.[2] This apparently motivated the inclusion of passages about the disease in Miró's two so-called "Oleza" novels. The 2006 census revealed that Parcent's population was 1,019 inhabitants. It was also found that about 35.10% of the population of Parcent were not Spanish citizens, but most of these foreigners were from the European Union.

Pego is a municipality located in the province of Alacant
Lying just inland from the northern Costa Blanca resort of Denia, the quaint Spanish town of Pego sits in a depression, surrounded by mountains. A part of the Marina Alta region of Alicante, Pego has a population of 10,721 (2006) and a history going back to the Arab occupation. Doubtless the area around Pego was settled during the Bronze Age and later by Iberian and Roman civilizations, though the story of the town really begins during the times of the Moors in around 726, when Pego was an important Arab enclave which later formed part of the Taifa of Denia. Subsequently conquered by forces under Jaime I of Aragon in 1244, Pego was later repopulated with peasants from Catalonia and the barony of Pego was created in 1262, and control of the town passed through the hands of various members of the Valencian nobility.
During the late 13th century the wetlands between Pego and Oliva were developed for the production of rice, fishing and grazing, rice in particular became an important source of income, though later rice production in the wetlands was banned by Martin I (1403) and attempts were made to regulate the cultivation of the wetlands. The final expulsion of remaining moriscos (Moors converted to Christianity) occurred in 1609 and Pego became virtually deserted for some time.
In the late 18th century certain areas of the wetlands were further developed, beginning with the formation of drainage ditches in the outer sections, though rice production did not return until 1805 when a Royal Order allowed the crop to be grown once more, significant areas were transformed between 1820 and 1840 though much of the wetlands remained untouched. The cultivation of rice continued to increase and by 1901 382 hectares were dedicated to rice production, this reached a high of 900 hectares in 1945. During Moorish times Pego was of course a walled town, with the obligatory castle, after the reconquest these fortifications were extended and had in all 16 towers, most of this was destroyed during the War of Spanish Succession (1701–14). There are still some remains of the wall, these can be found in the Old Town where the medieval streets still retain much of their original charm.
Worth visiting in Pego are the Arciprestal Church of Our Lady of the Assumption (16th century) built in the Renaissance style, built on the ruins of an earlier church, the Chapel of Ecce Homo (18th century) in the Baroque style and designed by the Valencian architect Fray Francisco Cabezas, the Church of the Sagrada Familia, the hermitage of San Jose (19th century), the hermitage of San Miguel (17th century), the Castillo de Ambra (Castle Ambra) thought to originate from the early 13th century and the Parque Natural de la Marjal de Pego-Oliva (Natural Park of the Peg-Oliva Marshes).
Pego celebrates a number of fiestas and festivals throughout the year and these include the Moors and Christians (late June), Porrat de Sant Antoni del Porquet (January),Carnival and the Pinyata (burial of the sardine). Some typical local dishes include coconut shrimp with rice crust, rice with beans and turnips and paella with eel and duck. Pego is situated on the CV-715 just inland from Denia and Oliva.
Pego enjoys a pleasant Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters.

It belonged to King Taifas of Denia but under the conquest of Jaime the first, control passed to the crown of Aragon and their local ruling families, first the Murs, then the Sapenas and more recently the Almúnia.
