Altea is considered to be one of the most photographed town on the Costa Blanca and has been inspiring artists and painters for decades.

It’s a popular spot for hiking and offers panoramic views of the surrounding area. You can hike to Peñón de Ifach or relax on the beach and discover the old town.
