Altea is a must-mention when talking about the most beautiful places on the Costa Blanca. Nicknamed the “Santorini of Spain”, it is a favourite for many thanks to its picture-postcard whitewashed houses and cobbled streets. Living in Altea also gives you the chance to enjoy this stunning part of the Mediterranean coastline, exploring its rocky coves and white sand beaches.
Altea, a charming town on Spain’s Costa Blanca, offers a relaxed and picturesque lifestyle characterized by beautiful coastlines, a historic old town, and a pleasant Mediterranean climate. The town boasts a vibrant cultural scene with numerous art galleries, festivals, and the Palau Altea Centre d’ Arts. Locals enjoy a variety of dining options featuring fresh seafood and local cuisine, along with local markets.
Altea, and the Costa Blanca in general, provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and water sports. With quality schools, healthcare facilities, and a welcoming community, Altea combines traditional Spanish charm with modern amenities, making it an attractive place to live.
Altea’s old town makes it one of the quaintest towns in Alicante, with a very rich architectural heritage. Historic sites include the Church of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, the Orthodox Temple of Archangel Michael (the first Orthodox church in Spain), the Tower of la Galera, the Casal del Festero Museum and the Maritime Museum.
Altea’s beaches are most enjoyed in this municipality of the Marina Baja region because the low tide and daylight last long. Some must-sees are the beaches of Granadella and Solsida, the natural waterfalls and pools of Les Fonts d’Algar, and the coves of Sardinera and Cala de Llebeig.
locals pride themselves on the flavour they gain from cooking fresh local produce for long simmering hours. An example of this is the glorious pan-to-share paella with anchovies.
one must not forget that Altea, despite enjoying the pleasures of the Mediterranean shore, also comes equipped with big-city amenities, both for daily utility like large supermarkets, but also in entertainment with a range escape rooms and local theatres.
