The village of Guadalest is the historic capital of the region, and in times gone by was a Moorish settlement. In parts of the village you can still sense the Moorish influence in its streets and monuments. Guadalest is special and unique , topped by a high terrace, that you can reach by a passing through St Josephs Gateway, that has been carved out of the mountain. At the top of the mountain was where historically lived the most important people of the village - the administrators of the feudal lords of the area. The gateway divides the two parts of the village. The lower part of the village is where you will find many shops and museums ( the miniture museum, the museum of cribs etc)
