Amenities/area:
Situated some 60 kilometers north of Alicante, Altea lies alongside the estuary of the River Algar where it meets the sea. It is incredibly fortunate in that it is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, dominated by the magnificent outline of the Sierra bernia mountain range. The lower southern slopes are covered with vast tracts of pine forest gradually descending into gently undulating countryside, large fertile areas ,which are still devoted to the production of all manner of semitropical fruit and vegetables. In complete contrast, is the rocky indented coastline that prevails here and also provides some splendid scenery with views that extend southwards for beyond the bay of Albir.

Many aspects of the old town of Altea are reminiscent of an age long past when the Moors influence over this coveted area of the Mediterranean was at its peak. Winding narrow streets of tall whitewashed houses rise steeply to a focal point, high above, culminating in the discovery of an impressive church with mosque like, blue tiled dome, visible for miles around. By its side there is a cobbled square flanked with a number of cafes with chairs and tables outdoors.

However Altea has more to offer than its rich historical and cultural links. Down by the waterfront and harbour there is plenty of life to be found; cafes, bars and restaurants are in abundance and the local fishermen are rather well known for their seemingly never ending catches of lobster. Once a week, the open market is held which stretches almost the full length of the quayside where it is possible to buy an enormous variety of handcrafted goods. Nearby is the chic and stylish Campomanes Marina, a purpose-built pleasure harbour with mooring points and ancillary services for over 500 boats. There are also plenty of other facilities on hand of interest even to the non-nautically inclined; fashionable boutiques, informal bars and smart restaurants. Windsurfing enthusiasts can sail from a pebble beach nearby. The beach extends for a long distance both to the north and the south, interspersed by rocky coves, some of which are only accessible by boat.

Golfing enthusiasts will be rewarded with the challenge of the Don Cayo course, which covers acres of landscaped lush vegetation resplendent with Jacaranda trees, amidst well maintained and verdant greens. The Clubhouse looks over the course to the sea beyond.

With an average annual sunshine rate of 320 days a year this magical corner of the Costa Blanca attracts a very cosmopolitan population both resident and visiting. It is particularly attractive to the English, especially during the winter months, when the sunshine brings a wry smirk to their faces as they watch the English weather report. Even at Christmas, lunch may be taken on the terrace wearing only t shirt and shorts even though the mornings and evenings can be quite cool.
