Altea Travel Guide

Altea is probably one of the most beautiful coastal resorts in Spain. The town was originally a fortress of the Habsburg Empire. The old town sits atop a hill, and is dominated by the glazed blue-tiled domes of the church.

In the courtyard outside the church you can enjoy a coffee or snack, with views through narrow alleyways and from a terrace of the newer town nestling around the bay. In summer months a craft market is held here.
