ALTEA
On the foot of Altea Hills, is the town
of Altea. Altea has more than six
kilometers of the most beautiful and
varied coastlines, combining impressive
cliffs and turquoise coves with white
sandy beaches that proudly display a
blue flag all year around.
Embraced by the majestic Sierra Bernia,
a chain of mountains that curves into
the sea, Altea is guaranteed a perfect
climate almost all year round, mild and
sunny. Its low humidity levels and the
protection of the hills that surround it,
create a unique micro climate that the
world health organisation has rated as
one of the healthiest on the planet.
The “Old Town” built around 1244
is a maze of narrow steep streets,
whitewashed
houses,
hanging
balconies, carved wooden doors,
jasmines and bougainvilleas that today,
contains private homes as well as
numerous galleries, exclusive boutiques,
excellent selection of fine restaurants
from Michelin star restaurants to French
or Swiss Bistro, gourmet Spanish
grills and a wide range of Oriental and
European tendencies; the rainbow of
choices is yours.
Culture and arts are also top
priority in Altea. Officially granted
the title of “Cultural Capital of the
Valencia Region”.
Altea has several private and public
harbours of great quality, including two
first-class Marinas El Puerto Deportivo
Luis Campomanes (also known as
The Greenwich Marina because of
its location exactly on the Greenwich
meridian) and EL Club Nautico de Altea,
distinguished for organising well-known
international nautical competitions.
Sun and Sea bathing are also a
wholesome pleasure at the beaches
and in the coves of Altea, even well
into the autumn days Mascarat,
La Olla, Cap Negret or La Roda
