The Most Beautiful of Altea

It is one of the main tourist hubs of the entire Valencian Community and one of the most beautiful spots in the entire Levante region. Its magnificent cultural offerings —highlighted by museums such as the Museum of the Sea, the Music Museum, or Casal del Fiestero dedicated to the traditional Moors and Christians festival— its popular cuisine, historic monuments and buildings, and not least, its six kilometers of coast and stunning coves make renting an apartment in Altea an unforgettable experience for every discerning tourist.

Since the 1960s, both domestic tourists—mainly from inland Spain and central regions—and international visitors from countries like Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands have decided that Altea is one of the most visited destinations along the Alicante coast. Its steep old town and whitewashed houses give it a unique charm. But this isn’t all that makes Altea so beautiful—renting an apartment in Altea means indulging in the relaxation, sunshine, and mild temperatures that prevail in this northern Alicante municipality for much of the year.

What to visit in Altea

Visiting Altea also means enjoying a wealth of monuments worth discovering, such as its Orthodox church, entirely made of wood and dedicated to Archangel Michael; the church of Our Lady of Comfort; or the Carmelite Monastery Church, which has been present in this town for over half a century. Towers like La Galera or La Bellaguarda, along with numerous rural hermitages, complete a scenery worthy of exploration.

But without a doubt, its beaches and coves are the true reason behind the success of this town of nearly 25,000 inhabitants and the most beautiful feature of Altea. Renting an apartment in Altea allows you to enjoy for a few days the tiny and wonderful beaches such as La Barreta, La Solsida, and La Galera. The pebble beach of guijarros, Cap Negret Beach, stands out with its clear blue waters and volcanic rocks, as does La Cala del Soio. Cap Blanch is the largest beach in Altea, connecting with the neighboring municipality of Alfaz del Pi. La Isleta, an islet just meters from La Olla, is another attraction that makes up the most beautiful parts of Altea.

And for leisure lovers, renting an apartment in Altea also means enjoying a wide variety of venues —especially in summer—, made even more accessible by its proximity to the always lively Benidorm, perfect for an unbeatable getaway.
