Alternatively, close by, Altea offers an escape from the bright lights and party lifestyle. The charming town, just 11 kilometres north of Benidorm, offers medieval cobbled streets, the distinctive church of Altea, a picture book Old Quarter and a delightful palm-fringed seafront esplanade. The town is now geared to the demands of the modern day tourist, but still I retains a bohemian air from its past when it was a centre for musicians, artists and writers.
Nearby Guadalest showcases some stunning regional architecture, while the stylish city of Valencia offers great shopping.
