Day trip Altea

From the terrace you look onto the façade of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, in the heart of the old town.

A wooden walkway leads from the promenade to the pebble beach.

• Across the water, a mountain ridge follows the coast.

Between white façades, balconies and black lanterns, this lane slopes down towards the Mediterranean.

White pebbles, loungers and blue water: Altea’s coastline seen from the beach.

• Water shoes are useful on the stones.

A cobbled street between whitewashed houses, with the church tower ahead.

• Take your time on the slopes and wear comfortable shoes.

Above the old rooftops, the view opens over Altea, the harbour and the coast.

• A lovely place to pause during your walk.

A flowering climber brings colour to this white corner house.

• These little details make a walk through Altea special.

This stepped lane passes restaurants and white houses, with mountains behind.

• Expect stairs and uneven paving in the old town.

White vaults, golden details and wooden pews draw your eye towards the altar.

• Visit when the church is open and respect any services taking place.
