Altea, The Santorini of Spain- A Captivating Gem of White-Washed Beauty

Did you know when they were building the old town they brought every little stone from the beach to make the main streets?

How To get here?

Best way to get here would be by car from Alicante (45km), Benidorm (18km) or even Valencia (130km)

If you don’t have a car you can also come by tram from Alicante or Benidorm, it will take around 1.30h.The old town is just stunning. On top of the hill there’s the church and the main square with all the cafes and restaurants. Theres’s an impressive lookout near the square where you can see all Altea and the beach area.

Where To Eat

Altea is not very vegan friendly. Although there is a famous Indian restaurant in the main street and some Italian restaurants where you can find pizza and pastas.

Try to avoid the main square for lunch as the price is very high and the quality is not very good.
