Altea

One of the Costa Blanca’s most charming and photogenic towns, known for its whitewashed houses, cobbled streets and colourful flower pots that bring a splash of life to every corner. Set between the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean and the striking Sierra Bernia mountains, Altea offers a beautiful natural setting with a relaxed, authentic Spanish atmosphere.
At the heart of the town lies its famous Old Town, a maze of narrow, winding streets leading up to the blue-domed church of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo. From here, you’ll find breathtaking views across the bay and out towards the mountains - a favourite spot for locals, visitors and photographers alike.
Altea’s seafront promenade is the perfect place to unwind, lined with cosy cafés, ice cream parlours, and restaurants with terraces overlooking the sea. Known for its mild climate and over 300 days of sunshine a year, Altea is a wonderful destination for outdoor living and relaxed Mediterranean holidays. The town also enjoys a lively cultural calendar, with regular music festivals, art exhibitions and artisan markets that reflect its creative spirit.
