Benitachell:
Benitachell is a tranquil and pretty village, originally an Arab outpost, with a stunning coastline formed by a succession of cliffs of more than a 100m high that descend vertically into the sea. Situated on the road between the port of Moraira and Javea as you drive northwards.
This mainly agricultural village boasts two coves and has a great traditional fishing heritage. It is some 15 minutes from Moraira and Javea, Benitachell offers a fantastic location. Visitors staying around this part of the Costa Blanca can benefit greatly from the attractions and activities close by. Golf fans are well catered for as the local course is in the area, however a car is recommended so you can explore the delights of Northern Costa Blanca.
Costa Blanca:
Benitachell is an ideal centre for visiting other attractions and places of interest on the Costa Blanca. Nearby is the Montgo Mountain that looks like an elephant and it is possible to climb to the top of this where you will be rewarded with some spectacular views. The safari park at Vergel and caves at Benidoleig are a short drive away as are the nearby towns of Denia, Moraira and Calpe.
The nearby village of Gata is well known for its wicker goods and here also is a Spanish guitar factory that you can look around. The waterfalls at Bollula are featured on some of the postcards and the pretty village of Guadalest perched on a rock is famous for hand made lace. Benidorm is only 40 minutes drive and offers the huge aqua park Aqualandia , sea world (Mundo Mar) and the new Terra Mitica Disney style theme park. Here also is the Benidorm Palace that put on some excellent stage shows with dinner included if you wish.
