Photos from Municipality Altea

Altea is town from Alicante province, Spain. It is located  along the Costa Blanca, about 15km north of Benidorm and just south of Calpe. Altea is one of the view villages which maintained most of the former fishing village flair of the past times.

Some kilometers away from Altea is the mountain area of Sierra de Bernia which reaches up to 1130 mt high hills. From that area there is a nice view on the Altea area and the coastline.

Some of the most attractive places around Altea are along the church and the harbor where many nice restaurants and bars are situated.

The over 5 km of beaches along Altea are divided into different sections. The Cap Negret north of Altea, followed by the La Roda and the Cap Blanc to the south. Along the yacht harbor you will find the beaches of Pueblo Macarat. Altea beaches are no so sandy as others of Costa Blanca and Alicante, but they offer wonderful views and nice niches to stay and relax.
