Consider Altea if you are traveling to Spain and looking for a vacation spot in which you can relax and unwind. It is North of Benidorm and there you will find an unspoiled fishing village that has kept its small-town charm and natural beauty.

When Going to Altea

This is a city that is located approximately one hour from the Alicante airport. Once you land, there are several different modes of transportation that are available to you. While it may be most convenient for you to rent a car, other options you have would include public buses and trains.

The economy of the area is booming, largely due to the increase in available real estate. As tourism is the biggest economic growth factor, new hotels and other types of lodging have sprouted up in recent years. Here, it is likely that you will find the perfect accommodations to suit your needs.

What are the Things to See in Altea?

Offered in this area, which is nestled in the mountains of Sierra de Bernia, are some of the most beautiful views of the Costa Blanca. It attracts tourists from all walks of life, from international writers and painters to local artists. It is a permanent home for some but for others, it is simply a tranquil vacation spot.

If you want to see the city and all of its unique features, then the best way to do it is to take a walking tour. Available throughout the town and the surrounding areas are private and group tours. You may even find that this type of tour can be included in a vacation package.

What you will find here is the well-known church, Nuestra Senora del Consuelo. Its familiar blue dome is a tribute to the traditional Mediterranean-style architecture that is prevalent in this area.

If you're looking for a little more excitement, you can wander down the narrow cobblestone streets to find unique shops, some with quaint handmade souvenirs. You will find that some are closed for an hour or two during the middle of the day while there are some stores that operate all day.

You can visit the craft market, near the harbor area. This is also open from Easter through September. You can find unique gift items from local artisans. Most of the items are handmade, and the prices are reasonable.

For others, golf is a must in a vacation otherwise it won't be complete. If that's the case, you'll find many courses around the Costa Blanca to please any golfer. It's a good idea to call ahead, as green fees vary from course to course, and from season to season.

If you like the hustle and bustle of a city brimming with activity, Benidorm is the place for you. This resort area is the most popular on the Costa Blanca and it has over 1000 restaurants. During the day, you can visit its theme parks and at night you can dance the night away at one of its 30 nightclubs.

Plan ahead, so when you're finally on vacation, you can relax!
