In 1472 the Moors living in Jalón sent a selection of wines to the Valencian Court and negotiated with traders in Jávea the sale of a product which in time would become the base of Marina Alta’s economy: raisins produced in the traditional ‘riu-raus’.  Jalón’s  wines  belong  to the ‘denominación de origen’ of Alicante and raisins are still produced in small quantities. Today Jalón is the capital of the Pop valley and is a lively city with craft shops, wine cellars, restaurants and other establishments offering a range of services to tourists. Each Saturday a large flea market is held in the area of the Azud that specializes in antique furniture.
