What to do in November in Marina Alta: culture, nature and plans to unwind

It’s the month when you can enjoy the beaches in peace and quiet, the mountains smell of rosemary and the villages rediscover their most authentic essence.

If you want to discover the region away from the frenetic pace of summer, November is the month for you. And at Riu Rau Rentals, we invite you to experience it from the inside, with local experiences, culture, sea and mountains.

Music and concerts

This month, the region once again becomes a musical stage. From intimate concerts in historic churches to blues festivals, classical music series and free performances in town squares.

You can enjoy piano, quartets, choral music, jazz and contemporary offerings that connect tradition and modernity.
