Redovan is found on the southern side of the imposing Callosa Mountain. It is much smaller than the neighbouring town of Callosa, but is packed full of charm and character like all the other inland villages of this area. Take time to explore the village having a look at the impressive arches of the very modern bandstand in the Plaza Paz, see the old and new town halls which face another and take a peek in the church and the nearby Semana Santa Museum. The natural park of Nuestra Senora de la Salud is worth a stop.
