Altea
Spain
A traditional fishing
village
Located at the foot
of the
Sierra de Bernia, Altea Spain is a calm and tranquil fishing village.
It
is located just 10 Km away from Benidorm
and 50 Km from Alicante
City. You can reach Altea via the N332 or the main motorway
AP7 (Exit 64).
The narrow
gauge train between Alicante and Denia has a stop
in Altea or you can take the bus, run by the spanish company ALSA, from
Alicante
Bus station.
 Altea has a
beautiful parish church, with its stylish bell tower and its
dome covered with glazed blue and white ceramic tiles, it has
become one of the most unique visual landmarks on the Costa Blanca.
Its
beaches and coves are an undoubted attraction for many
visitors as well as the excellent weather, cultural activities and
festivities celebrated in this part of the Costa Blanca.
A nice way of knowing Altea is
to leave the car and take a walk for its old town.
This will allow you to take direct contact with the place, its
people, culture and traditions.
During your
visit to Altea you will find a large number of craft workshops, shops
and restaurants that occupy the ground floor of the houses and the
lovely church of the Virgen del Consuelo.
 Depending on the liturgical
calendar, Altea celebrate Carnival in February or March, and Easter,
which is another of the cultural manifestations of most religious roots
among the population, between the months of March and April.
In
the Olla de Altea, separated from the urban area by the river Algar,
one of the most impressive fireworks display takes place on 12-14
August, celebrating the festivity of "San Lorenzo". These
fireworks are set from land and sea and it is one
of the most famous display known internationally. It is called the
Castell de l'Olla.
Altea Hill Just a few kilometers away from
the village you will find Sierra de Berna. These impressive
Altea hill offer spectacular views of the coastline and mediterranean
sea. In this area you will find the "Don Cayo" golf club.
Altea Hills offer a marvellous
landscaped surroundings on the Eastern coast of Spain. There are many
properties Altea has to offer in this area as well as lovely and
relaxing hotels.
If you are looking for villas,
Altea hill is a fantastic area to consider so have a look around before
making your final decision.
When you visit Altea,
car
rental
is recommended to explore the nearby cities such as Benidorm and Calpe.
You can pick a car in Alicante Airport and drive away to your

Benidorm Fancy some wild nightlife? Want

only a short drive away, about 10 Km to find the favourite
resort of the
holidaymakers
searching for sun, sea, fun and social vibe! You can take the narrow

Altea Alicante Many people goes directly from
Alicante Airport to their holiday destination in the Costa Blanca and
miss a visit to Alicante
city.
I fully suggest a visit to this marvellous city.
Altea to Alicante is a
very short and comfortable journey by train or you can drive via the
AP7 motorway (only 50 Km away).
Alicante offers the life style
that includes everything
you need, but
it is small enough to make it easy to get from one place to another.
So definitely going from Altea to Alicante for the day or
even the weekend is the right choice.
