Senija

Highlight • Settlement

Senija is a small and picturesque village in the Marina Alta region of Alicante, nestled against a hillside and surrounded by a landscape of almond, olive, and carob trees. Covering less than five square kilometers and home to just a few hundred residents – a significant portion of whom are of foreign origin – the village has a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Narrow streets lined with whitewashed and pastel-colored houses give Senija its typical Mediterranean charm.
The history of Senija dates back to the time when it was almost entirely inhabited by Moors. After their expulsion in the early 17th century, the number of families dropped sharply, but the 18th century brought a revival, mainly through the production of raisins for export. Agriculture still plays a key role in the local economy today, with vineyards, olive oil, dessert wines, and dried tomatoes among its specialties.


Senija is also known for its artistic character, most notably through the MOS Open-Air Museum, where murals by various artists can be admired throughout the village. In the heart of Senija stands the church of Santa Catalina, built on the remains of an old mosque and housing a baroque statue of the Virgen de los Desamparados. The surrounding countryside offers walking trails leading to sites such as La Creueta and the Cueva de la Garganta, where views and tranquility draw many visitors.
