Altea Travel Guide

Altea © www.wikipedia.org

Overview: Away from the madding crowds of Benidorm, the peaceful town of Altea offers plenty of amenities for those who prefer a less frenetic beach holiday, without the glitz, glamour and gusto. Of all the towns on the Costa Blanca, Altea is probably the one that remains the least exploited and overdeveloped, where daily life remains uninterrupted by tourists and huge hotels have yet to be built. Altea has a long jetty and attractive walkway fronting a calm stretch of shoreline with pebbly beaches encircling the town. The town's central Plaza de la Iglesia leads onto narrow cobblestone streets and offers beautiful Mediterranean views.

Restaurants: Altea has tasty cuisine on offer to enjoy while there on holiday. Some of the best restaurants include Oustau de Altea, El Bodegon de Pepe, El Faro and El Negro de Altea.
