Welcome to Altea & Guadalest.
Altea is one of the most photographed towns on the Costa Blanca, with whitewashed old streets, a blue-domed church, and views that have been catching painters for decades. Guadalest is a tiny fortified village in the mountains above — castle, reservoir, and the smallest historical museums in Spain.

Common questions.
Who is this trip for?
Expats and travelers based in Valencia who want a curated day out without planning anything. Most guests are 30s–60s; conversations switch easily between English and Spanish.
How fit do I need to be?
Comfortable walking on uneven ground is enough. Old towns and a short uphill at Guadalest.
What if it rains?
We have a wet-weather plan and travel year-round. If the day isn't safe to run, we reschedule or refund.
