The old town of Altea is one of the most beautiful on the Costa Blanca. Pretty, white washed houses line the medieval streets leading up to the magnificent, centuries old, blue domed church of La Virgen de la Consuela.
Stylish shops & boutiques line the narrow streets interspersed with restaurants & bars to suit every taste & pocket, or just relax & enjoy the views, over a glass of wine at any one of the cafes in the church square.
The seafront restaurants are ever popular all offering excellent value for money & varied menus. Altea also boasts a concert hall, hosting musical events. The local train 'the lemon express' (FGV) will take you to Alicante in the south, & Denia in the north, & every beach in between, the views are superb. The local attractions are Terra Mitca theme park, Aqualandia (Waterworld), Mundomar (Sea World) & are within 10 min drive.
There is a different market every day of the week & at weekends there is the popular El Cisne market with live jazz and good food.
