ALTEA

Altea is a jewel of the Valencian Community, of course the most photographed town on the Costa Blanca.

This town will leave you speechless thanks to its beauty and fascination: here you will pass between white houses and buildings, twisted alleys and stairs. Crossing all these narrow streets and getting lost in them, you will reach the Church of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, which rises above Altea: a symbolic building of the town, with a blue tiled roof, which creates a unique contrast with the whitewashed houses and streets. Here you can get fantastic views from the viewpoint of the Cronistas de España and admire the wonderful square, which is very lively and full of shops. Also not to be missed is the viewpoint of Portal Vell, a balcony with endless views of the Mediterranean Sea and the majestic Peñon de Ifach.

Of course you must also stroll along Altea’s promenade, relax on its beaches and swim in its crystal clear waters… so don’t forget your swimming costume!

FUENTES DE ALGAR

The place is a jewel and allows you to enjoy a lot: you can swim, dive, jump from a cliff, get lost in its beautiful nature with waterfalls, pue, wooden bridges and natural pools or just relax. Moreover, this area is very well preserved and has all the facilities, such as a picnic area, public toilets. Algar in Arabic means cave and is a 1.5 km long circuit that follows the course of the Algar river and features many beautiful waterfalls. Along the route you will come across “tolls” which are crystal clear water pools where it is possible to bathe. In the past the pools were considered to be a source of health because of their pure water.
