What to expect
Benidorm is the tourist destination par excellence in the province of Alicante, but you can discover other unique places in the surrounding area.
First stop Guadalest. You will leave aside the blue of the sea to marvel at the colors of the Guadalest Reservoir, the main protagonist of this area.
The town has been declared a historical site and an Asset of Cultural Interest for its rich heritage. Enjoy a walking tour with the expert guide to learn about the most relevant places and historical data and, then, you will have free time to enjoy the city's museums.
Halfway between the sea and the mountains is the quiet town of Altea. If you are looking for Mediterranean essence, it offers you six km of coastline, among which its coves and stone beaches stand out.
There is no postcard worth its salt that ignores the great dome of the Church of Consuelo, a key point in the old town of Altea. With the white houses, the cobbled streets and the blue tones of the sea appearing in every nook and cranny, a walk through Altea is a gift. You'll explore its streets on a guided walking tour before having free time for lunch and continue discovering it at your own pace.
In the last part of the excursion we will visit the Fuentes del Algar, a fascinating natural area made up of spectacular waterfalls that provide great biodiversity to the environment. You will have free to take a bath and enjoy this place however you want.
