Biar is located in the mountain range called “ Sierra Mariola”, Biar was once called Apiarium which comes from the Roman word for beehive because this area was rich in aromatic herbs which made for a very prosperous production in honey. As you approach Biar you do not need to have eagle-eyes to contemplate its 12th century castle majestically overlooking this quaint village. The streets have names which are nicely shown on ceramic street plates as well as saint icons that decorate the colourful houses and antique lamp-posts adorn the walkways. Like many castles which are set upon the city’s hill, you need to have comfortable shoes to make the climb up through the narrow curvy pebble stone streets. But it is so well worth the effort once you are there, closer to heaven and beholding these intense sights of the valley of Vinalopo. From the castle you are able to see the parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin ( Asuncion del Virgen ) which dates back to the 15th century and the front of the building done up in a Levantine-Plateresque style and as you can imagine has gone through a lot but can still be quite striking. Inside there is a shrine dedicated to the holy communion and an excellent piece of a type of Baroque architecture.
