Day Trip to Guadalest, Altea and Fuentes del Algar from Benidorm

Benidorm is the tourist destination par excellence in the province of Alicante, but between a day at the beach and a stroll along the Paseo Marítimo, you can - and should - discover other unique places in the surrounding area. Guadalest, Altea and Fuentes del Algar are some of them.

Leaving mid-morning, you can comfortably travel by bus to the first stop on this excursion: Guadalest.

With only 20 km of distance between one and the other, the panorama is totally different. You will leave the blue of the sea to marvel at the colours of the Guadalest reservoir, the main protagonist of this area.

The village has been declared a historical site and an Asset of Cultural Interest for its rich heritage, among which the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, the town hall and the Castle of San José stand out.

We will take a walking tour with the expert guide to get to know the most important places and historical data and, afterwards, you will have free time to enjoy the town's museums -the town has about 200 inhabitants but no less than eight museums-. After this time, we'll get back on the bus and head to our next destination.

Halfway between the sea and the mountains lies the quiet village of Altea. If you are looking for the essence of the Mediterranean, it offers six kilometres of coastline, among which its coves and pebble beaches stand out.

No postcard can ignore the great dome of the Church of Consuelo, the key point of the old quarter of Altea. We will visit the Portal Vell, the Glorieta del Mar or the Carmelina Sánchez Cutillas square on a guided walking tour before having free time for lunch and continue discovering it at your own pace.

In the afternoon, the excursion continues to Fuentes del Algar, a unique nature reserve on the Algar riverbed with numerous waterfalls and natural pools. The guide will talk to you about this point along the way and, to experience them to the full, you will have about two hours free, the ideal time to walk, swim and enjoy nature to the fullest.

Don't miss the opportunity to spend a magical day in the province of Alicante, book your excursion now and get to know Guadalest, Altea and Fuentes del Algar!
