Hondon De Las Nieves / Hondon De Los Frailes

Hondon de las Nieves is a small village, inland, west of the Alicante Region. It's nearest city is Elche (City of Palms) to the south east or Crevillente (20 min's drive). Nieves and it's very close neighbouring village 'Hondon De Los Frailes' are typical Spanish, rural villages, quaint, friendly and have changed very little over the years. The local economy relies heavily on agriculture /farming (it's a very fertile valley) and construction / quarrying.

Grapes and almonds are mainly grown in the Hondon area but also many other root crops and fruits. The other dominant industry is construction with many limestone quarries servicing the Costa Blanca building trade for cement products.

Hondon de Las Nieves literally means 'Gorge of the Snow' but not after the weather (there's virtually no snow)! It is named for the village’s loyalty to their patron... "The Virgin of the Snow". This religious effigy and the church is at the heart of village life, the 'Virgin' has her own fiesta dedicated to her. You'll often see posters in village windows or flags in the streets with the 'Virgin' printed on them...
