Adsubia is located at the entry to the Vall de Gallinera, on the road linking Pego with Cocentaina and Alcoy. Though Iberian/Roman remains have been found in the vicinity, its present day location dates back to the Moorish period. Its economy is based on agriculture, especially oranges and other citrus fruits. White houses with curiously formed tiles on their roofs dominate the village. Three km from Adsubia, on the right-hand side of road to Cocentaina, are the village and castle of Forna. The castle is one of the great medieval castles of the leader Al-Azraq, with a square layout with four rectangular towers. Once independent, Forna was annexed to Adsubia in 1915. Today only a few foreigners and villagers remain.
