Altea is a town of great history with unique blue tiled roofs, which make such a striking contrast to the white walls. The shopping is very good here, whilst Calpe and Benidorm offer excellent beaches and nightlife, restaurants and pubs. Tapas bars are very frequent along the marinas and the cuisine is excellent and very affordable.
There is a railway offered that runs along the coast for an excellent day excursion, it is slow and offers wonderful views across the Costa Blanca.
Altea Hills, the 5 star resort overlooking the Bay of Altea
Altea marks the start of Costa Blanca North, where the scenery becomes greener and more mountainous than in the south. The relative lack of hotels, outside Benidorm, have allowed this most beautiful stretch of the Valencian coast line to flourish without package tourism. The Altea Hills Resort is the premier location to live on the Costa Blanca and reputedly home to some very famous names. So keep your eyes peeled. The setting of Altea Hills is breathtaking. Perched on the side of the spectacular Sierra Bernia mountain range as it meets the sea, the resort has stunning views of Altea village, the Sierra Helada mountain range and the the clear blue waters below.
The Altea Hills resort is built on a hillside, with the Melia Hotel and the main facilities at the centre. You do need a car to get around, but you can walk downhill to the centre easily in 2-3 minutes (to reach the hotel pool, squash, sauna, gym, jacuzzi, spa, beauty centre, pub, social club, restaurant, tennis club etc.) If you wish to use the internet, you can pay at the reception of the Hotel Melia to use their business facilities at reasonable rates.
There is an excellent supermarket (the instore bakery should not be missed) at the main entrance to Altea Hills, but it is too far to walk, hence the need for a car or use of taxis. There are many other large supermarkets in Calpe and Altea, plus a Carrefour near the huge shopping centre of La Marina, just off the motorway junction for Benidorm. For fish, look out for the stalls set up near the fishing boats in the main resorts, where you can choose your own catch fresh from the sea.
