The island of Tabarca is<br />
a unique place to visit.<br />
It is the only inhabited<br />
island in the Valencia<br />
Community and is located<br />
just off the coast of<br />
Alicante, rather closer to<br />
the fishing port of Santa<br />
Pola than Alicante.<br />
The island is very small;<br />
approximately 1.800<br />
metres long, and some<br />
450 metres at the widest<br />
point. It boasts a number<br />
of historical buildings, many part of the efforts of King Charles III to<br />
fortify and inhabit the island during the 18 th century. Previously the<br />
island had served as a refuge for Berber pirates, who would use the<br />
island as a base for raiding the nearby coast. Many of the 68 (as of the<br />
2010 census) permanent inhabitants of Tabarca are descendents of<br />
the original Genoese fishermen and families brought over to Tabarca<br />
in 1770. These families had been prisoners on the Tunisian island of<br />
Tabarka, and ransomed by King Charles III to be brought to the island<br />
– thus the name “New Tabarca.” The Greeks and Romans called the<br />
island “Planesia” and “Planaria” respectively, referring probably to the<br />
flatness of the island’s geography. The island was also referred to as<br />
“Saint Paul”, the legend being that the apostle had arrived here on<br />
his mission to this area.<br />
The island has two distinct<br />
parts, the division marked<br />
by the narrow middle<br />
with the port on one side<br />
and a sandy beach on<br />
the other. The majority<br />
of the buildings are on<br />
the south part of the<br />
island, whereas the north<br />
is mostly barren. The<br />
lighthouse, inaugurated<br />
in 1854, was at one time<br />
used as a prison but is<br />
now closed to the public. The island, and the small outlying islets, La<br />
Cantera, La Galera and La Nao, have been a Mediterranean Marine<br />
Reserve since 1986, for the flora and fauna which abound in the<br />
crystal clear waters.<br />
The architectural heritage that can still be admired include the Church<br />
of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, consecrated in 1770. The old city still<br />
conserves a great part of the walls, and they are the object of constant<br />
rehabilitation. Other interesting buildings include the Governor’s<br />
House, which has been restored and converted into a hotel. The<br />
whole island has been declared an Artistic-Cultural Heritage site,<br />
since 1964.<br />
The island is best reached by boat from Santa Pola, only a 30 minute<br />
crossing, and the boat<br />
will make a brief stop<br />
shortly before arriving<br />
so passengers can enjoy<br />
viewing the fish and plants<br />
through the glass bottom.<br />
Once on the island, there<br />
are many things to do. The<br />
small village boasts some<br />
excellent restaurants.<br />
Please try the “Caldero<br />
Tabarqueño”, typical fishrice<br />
dish the island is<br />
famous for. There are sunbeds<br />
and umbrellas to rent on the sandy beach, or for the more<br />
adventurous, try the rockier coves for snorkelling. You can purchase<br />
souvenirs in one of the shops, or take a long walk completely around<br />
the island.<br />
On the Dragontours trip, June 6 th , we will leave very early in the<br />
morning from the Mazarrón area, and take the boat at 11am. The<br />
return boat will be at 6.30pm in the afternoon, so there will be a full<br />
day to enjoy this beautiful place.<br />
