Alió is a municipality of dry land. In the spring, the flowery almond fields surrounding it are spectacular. The parish church Sant Bartomeu, declared a Cultural Asset of Local Interest (BCIL), is in the square of the same name. The construction was motivated by the demographic and economic growth at that time in the 18th century; the lintel of the access door has an inscription from 1767. During the 19th century, the area became an important wine centre, leading to the creation of several breweries of aguardiente (strong alcoholic drinks).
The main streets in the town are the Major Street and Muralla’s Street, while the medieval town, with remains of the old town walls, have been declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest (BCIN).
The Cooperativa Agrícola (founded in 1909) built the winery designed by the architect Claudi Duran i Ventosa in 1911, which was expanded in 1917 by the Valls architect Cèsar Martinell. Alió is a good place to stop and buy ‘coques’ from the bakery and nuts from the region.
