Altea

Altea on the Costa Blanca captivates with its picturesque old town, which climbs terraced up a hill. Its landmark is the church Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, with its distinctive blue domes visible from afar. You'll stroll through narrow, cobbled streets, lined with whitewashed houses, art galleries, and small boutiques. The town has preserved its original charm as a former fishing village and today attracts many artists and creatives. From various viewpoints, you can enjoy expansive views over the Mediterranean Sea and the coast. Altea is especially charming in the evenings, when the old town is softly illuminated and restaurants open their terraces. Avoid the peak season in August to best experience the tranquility and authenticity of the place.
