The old town of Altea, Spain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The old town is the essential place to see in Altea, where the best thing to do is to get lost in its labyrinth of cobbled streets. You can also admire the architecture of its buildings that will take you back to Moorish Spain. The best way to explore the old town is on foot, to soak up the magic of its streets. In addition, the old town of Altea combines an incredible mix of bustling cafes, local craft shops, local products, and art galleries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the whitewashed houses and the blue and white dome of the <strong>Parroquia de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Consuelo<\/strong>, which dominates the centre of the town from above, will immerse you in the old town. Here you can find and enjoy the spectacular views of the Mediterranean coast offered by the <strong>Mirador de Los Cronistas. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-church-square\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Church-Square\"><\/span>2.

One of the highlights of the square is the Church of Altea, which is well worth a visit. Also, the interior of the <a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/spots\/0d2b6cd4-9096-42fc-8756-d82642ca07dd?ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-in-altea&amp;utm_term=parroquia-nuestra-se\u00f1ora-consuleo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Parroquia de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Consuelo<\/a> is one of the essential things to see in Altea, to admire its colourful stained glass windows and baroque style decoration. This was the space occupied by the Castle of Altea, and it is where the<strong> Mirador de Los Cronistas<\/strong> is located, which has the most iconic sight of Altea. From its viewpoint, we feel like an active part of history, involved in the past of this town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

It\u2019s morning-only and perfect before climbing to the old town for lunch. If you\u2019re into organic produce, there\u2019s a smaller <strong>eco-market on Wednesdays<\/strong> in the old town. Simple, real, and very photogenic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-markets-in-altea-spain\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Markets-in-Altea-Spain\"><\/span>4. Markets in Altea, Spain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The markets of Altea are the essence of this town and one of its best-known attractions. Every Tuesday, you will find everything from food, clothes and handicrafts. Moreover, it is one of the largest street markets on the Costa Blanca, very popular with the local population, but also with tourists and locals from neighbouring villages. Situated in Calle Filarm\u00f3nica, the market starts at 8:00 and lasts until 14:00. Everyone comes in search of fruit, vegetables, flowers and the freshest and highest quality traditional products of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also located at the entrance to the village, on the Camino del Algar, is the second most popular market in the village. It is also held every Tuesday between 8:00 and 14:00, but focuses on fashion, footwear, costume jewellery and handicrafts. This market is all about colour and shapes, and is the most popular with tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em>Organise your travel itinerary with <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en?action=modal&amp;target=register&amp;ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-in-altea&amp;utm_term=recomendacion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Passporter<\/a><em>, completely free to use, easy and practical.

Here you can enjoy beautiful pebble beaches. Also, this is a much more relaxed and less bustling beach area than the sandy ones. In addition, it is one of the most original and romantic spots to spend a beautiful morning on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-attachment-id=\"11563\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/spain\/things-to-do-altea\/attachment\/promenade\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/promenade.jpg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,682\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"promenade\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/promenade.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/promenade.jpg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/promenade.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/promenade.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/promenade.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/promenade.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Promenade @sgargon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-castell-de-l-olla\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Castell-de-lOlla\"><\/span>6. Castell de l\u2019Olla<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One magical night each August, Altea lights up the bay with a floating fireworks show launched from the water off <strong>La Olla<\/strong>. It\u2019s loud, bright, and wonderfully local. Go by TRAM or arrive early if you\u2019re driving, pick a spot near La Olla beach, and bring water and patience for the exit. If you time your trip for this weekend, it\u2019s a memory-maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-best-beaches-in-altea-spain\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-are-the-best-beaches-in-Altea-Spain\"><\/span>What are the best beaches in Altea, Spain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Altea is located on the Costa Blanca and has a large stretch of coastline, which alternates areas of cliffs and small coves with stretches of beach on flat land. Here, we show you some of the most beautiful and well-known beaches and coves to see in Altea, Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-l-espigo\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-LEspigo\"><\/span>1. L&#8217;Espig\u00f3<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Espigo beach is the latest addition to Altea&#8217;s beaches, having opened in 2016. This beach has a boulevard that runs along the beach and reaches the Algar river. Also, it is a fairly busy beach, 700 metres long and 30 metres wide. However, thanks to its dimensions it has enough space, and is rarely crowded. Located close to the city centre, Espigo beach is<strong> easily accessible<\/strong> and can be reached by walking along the beach boulevard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-cap-negret\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Cap-Negret\"><\/span>2. Cap Negret<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cap Negret is an urban beach, and generally more intimate and quiet than the beaches in the centre of Altea, Spain. The beach is made up of <strong>fine gravel and small pebbles, a more comfortable option<\/strong> than other coves in Altea. It is the perfect combination of privacy and comfort, making this beach one of the most popular in Altea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-cap-blanc\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Cap-Blanc\"><\/span>3. Cap Blanc<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cap Blanch beach is an <strong>easily accessible<\/strong> urban stretch that connects the beaches of Altea with those of L&#8217;Albir. Moreover, it has a <strong>blue flag and views from the sand<\/strong> that make it well worth a visit. It has an exceptional location, with the port of Altea to the left and the beautiful Sierra Helada mountain range to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"11564\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/spain\/things-to-do-altea\/attachment\/cap-blanc-beach-altea\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cap-blanc-beach-altea.jpg?fit=1080%2C810&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,810\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cap-blanc-beach-altea\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cap-blanc-beach-altea.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cap-blanc-beach-altea.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cap-blanc-beach-altea-1024x768.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cap-blanc-beach-altea.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cap-blanc-beach-altea.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cap-blanc-beach-altea.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cap-blanc-beach-altea.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cap-blanc-beach-altea.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cap-blanc-beach-altea.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/cap-blanc-beach-altea.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cap Blanc Beach @daniitamarit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-la-roda\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-La-Roda\"><\/span>4. La Roda<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At 1400 metres long, it is <strong>one of the longest stretches of beach in Altea<\/strong>. Its central location, close to the town centre, makes it easy to reach. La Roda beach is made up of pebbles, gravel and sand. This is one of the most attractive beaches for sports enthusiasts. Also, the water gets deep quickly, which favours <strong>water sports<\/strong> such as windsurfing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-barra-grande-cove\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Barra-Grande-Cove\"><\/span>5.

This nudist beach is only 50 metres long and 7 metres wide. Also, its<strong> crystal clear waters<\/strong> offer spectacular snorkelling opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-metge-cove\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Metge-Cove\"><\/span>6.

Cala del Metge is a rocky beach with spectacular views of the bays of Albir, Altea and Calpe. Access is a little tricky compared to the other beaches, but it is well worth the effort. Remember to bring something to eat and drink if you are spending the day, as the cove is far from any establishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/destinations\/3ab2ab17-2dd6-4a1d-8b64-51af7291f0e9?ref=blogpassporter&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-in-altea&amp;utm_term=1\" style=\"background-color:#2a7057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">select the places you want to visit in altea<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-and-do-around-Altea\"><\/span>What to see and do around Altea?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-the-garden-of-the-senses\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-The-Garden-of-the-Senses\"><\/span>1.
