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 wellknown 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 are beaches of unspoiled beauty, these
beaches invite you for a complete relaxation.
The Nine-hole golf course Club Don Cayo is just
minutes away from BluePort, Club Don Cayo is one
of the five golf courses around the area of Altea.
The two international airports of Valencia and Alicante and the well-maintained network of national
and European roads and fast trains, keep Altea just
a blink away from the rest of the World.
