Altea is a magnificent region

A perfect blend of modernism and traditionalism, the city of Altea has managed to preserve its charm of yesteryear. The 8 kilometers of coastline offers pleasant walks along the seafront where cafés and restaurants follow one another. Located at a height, the old town, populated by whitewashed houses, accentuates the authentic character of this fishing village. Altea is undoubtedly one of the best preserved cities on the Valencian coast. At the heart of the village, many holidaymakers mix with the artists who have come to enjoy the various assets and landscapes that the city offers. Altea is often considered as one of the most emblems of the Costa Blanca.
