Places To Visit

A visit to Altea starts at the highest part of the town. From the Plaza de Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, boasting a church topped by unique blue and white tiled cupolas, a magnificent view over the district can be gained. Cobblestoned streets and steps descend the hill, flanked by whitewashed houses, which were once protected by town walls. At the foot of the hill is the fishermen's quarter, now enlivened by a seafront promenade and a port, which keeps the town busy. Along streets and around plazas, craftsmen and artists mingle with holidaymakers and neighbours to form a captivating crowd.

Touristic and maritime town, enjoying the impressive and magnificent protection of the Montgó mountain (753 m).

The old town has an interesting historical center with the fortress church San Bartome, is an example of late gothic with a defensive character. Aduanas del Mar is the urban center developed around the harbour. Visit the Santa Maria de Loreto Church, fine example of expressionist architecture build during the 60. In the Montgó Natural Park (Les Planes) the visit of the windmills is a must with lovely views over the bay of Jávea.

Located 25 km from Calpe, is the village of Guadalest. Occupying one of the most stunning positions in Spain, this small village is precariously perched on the pinnacle of a granite mountain, giving fabulous views across the valley carved out by the River from which the village takes its name.

Benidorm offers the younger guests some exciting nightlife while the old town has some interesting restaurants and bars for families. Close to Benidorm is a water park and theme park. Great for those days out away from the beach.
