Altea, a unique setting
Altea is a charming village located in the province of Alicante, in the Valencian Community. With its 24,000 inhabitants, this special corner of La Costa Blanca is located in the Marina Alta region, between the towns of Benidorm and Calpe. Altea is widely recognised for its beauty and cultural richness, and is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Spain.
Historical and cultural heritage
One of the main attractions of Altea is its old town, known as the “Barrio Antiguo”. The cobbled streets and whitewashed houses with their wrought-iron balconies evoke the charm of Mediterranean architecture. The church of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, with its characteristic two domes of blue tiles, is the symbol of Altea and offers a spectacular view of the town and the Mediterranean Sea from its square.
Altea is also a cultural reference point. The town is home to the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Miguel Hernández University and is known for being an important artistic centre in the region. Its art galleries, exhibitions and cultural events attract visitors and artists from all over the world, making Altea a hotbed of creativity and talent.
Privileged Environment
Altea’s privileged location on the Costa Blanca offers a wide variety of tourist and recreational activities. Its beaches, such as Playa de La Olla and Playa de Albir, are ideal for enjoying the sun and the Mediterranean Sea, while its natural sites, such as the Serra Gelada Natural Park, provide opportunities for hiking and admiring the local flora and fauna.
