What sets it apart
3 Reasons Altea Feels Different
Whitewashed Streets
The old town's steep, cobbled lanes and blue-and-white houses owe more to the Greek islands than the average Spanish resort — built for wandering, not driving through.
Artists' Quarter
Small galleries, ceramics studios and craft shops have made Altea a magnet for artists for decades, giving the old town a creative, unhurried feel.
Blue-Domed Church
The twin blue tile domes of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo sit above the main square and have become one of the most photographed skylines on this stretch of coast.
