About us

Altea
is situated on a hill whose peak rises above the white-tiled parish church. The magnificently jumbled and cluttered centre of the Old Town provides Altea with a special charm. When visiting, start at the Plaza del Convento and take the Pont de Moncau - this leads to the Vellaguarda district, an area of steep narrow cobble-stoned streets with balconies and small glorietas (circular intersections). In the Plaza, the cultural and leisure centre of Altea is the Church of the Virgen del Consuelo (Our Lady of Solace). Altea's peacefulness and tranquillity have made it a paradise for artists and craftsmen and their shops and stalls are scattered throughout the Old Town Centre. At the foot of the hill lies the wide sea promenade and the commercial street, the Avenida del Rey Jaime I. L'Olla is another much-frequented beach opposite a small island of the same name. In earlier times, Altea used to be situated on the road to the Sierra de Bernia and was called Altea la Vella - a small village intersected by a Way of the Cross that ascends to a Calvary surrounded by cypress trees. The Sierra de Bernia, with its Font del Garroferet and ancient fortress, are excellent reasons to visit the area.

Beniardá
is a small village located between a reservoir of the same name and the Xortá and Serrella sierras. Although Beniardá is situated in the costal region it is a typical village of the Alicante mountain area with an architecture that provides glimpses of its Moorish past. Islamic foundations have been found in a house in the calle de la Torre. The village's economy is typically agricultural with dry land crops and fruits being grown.

Benidorm's beaches and range of leisure amenities explain why has it has become Costa Blanca's main tourist area. Benidorm has some of the best beaches in the world. The fine sand, cleaned daily, the quality of the services and the transparency of the water are the main reasons given by Benidorm's many visitors. There is a small cove between the Playa de Poniente and the old town centre, known as the Playa del Mal Pas, which can be reached from the port or from stairs that descend from the castle. The historical centre is located around the Canfali vantage point, which is the most emblematic image of Benidorm with a white stone balcony and a vantage point. The neoclassical church dedicated to St James the Apostle is also located in this area. The Levante beach can be reached from the Plaza del Castillo either by walking down through the narrow white streets, or through the town's commercial district. The Aiguera Park, designed by Ricardo Bofill, is Benidorm's largest park and divides the town in two. Benidorm's attraction lies in the variety of its leisure amenities, with a wide range of activities for foreign and national tourists, children, teenagers and pensioners.

Bolulla
Those who enjoy hiking should stay in Callosa d'En Sarrià and experience places nearby that have remained unchanged for more than fifty years. This is certainly the case for Bolulla a farming village with a jumble of single-storied houses. Very few historical texts refer to Bolulla, though the village probably dates back to Moorish times when it was a farmstead. It was re-conquered by the troops of King Jaime I in 1254. The remains of Gartx castle are situated to the north of the municipal district, at the summit of mount
