Without a doubt the lovely fishing village of ALTEA is one of the most beautiful towns along the Costa Blanca. I absolutely loved it here and we stayed a couple of hours, just exploring and walking along its wonderful promenade along the beach. Along the Yacht Harbor you will find the beaches of Pueblo Macaret.
The most attractive area around Altea is its harbour area with many bars and restaurants. It was a beautiful sunny day and tourists were in abundance.
The mountain area of Sierra de Berniawhich reaches up to 1130 metres high, can be seen from Altea.
Just south of Calpe, Altea can be reached using the A-7 highway or the N-332 national |
|  | CAP DE SANT ANTONI - COSTA BLANCA The highlight of our tour of the Peninsula, was a pleasant surprise, as we just followed the brown sign which said CAP DE SANT ANTONI.
What we saw there was a magnificent view of the mountains and sea.
A plaque there read:
"This look-out point is situated at Las Planes 160 m above sea level. The Cap de Sant Antoni is created by the prolongations of the western mass of the Montgo Mountain to the seas. The north precipice known as "Tramontana" is extremely steep, vertically carves, with areas of sheer drops, however on the south or midday side of the mountain becomes softer and far less dramatic." |

Wow, what a beach ! I undrstand the name of Costa Blanca! To be an hermit in Cap de Sant Antoni must have been a pleasant job! | kyoub Sat Mar 1, 2008 14:00 UTC
An excellent look at a quaint little fishing village. Outstanding photos and tips. Nice red car to drive around also. | traveldave Fri Feb 29, 2008 14:21 UTC
One of my VT friends lives in Alicante, and I'd love to visit him sometime. However, I just can't seem to find the time. Looks like a gorgeous area. |
