Check out this spot in Altea. Popular location for scuba diving and sailing. Altea is a picturesque coastal town located in the province of Alicante, in the Valencian Community of Spain. It is beautifully nestled around a hill that descends to the inviting waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The town has an attractive historic old town, which is known for its cobbled streets, white-washed houses, and blue domed church. Altea is surrounded by lush green mountains full of pine trees and orange groves, which provide a dramatic backdrop to the turquoise sea that laps against the shoreline. The beaches in Altea are sandy and pebbly and lovely to walk along, with gorgeous panoramic views of the sea and the surrounding cliffs. The town is perfect for those looking for a peaceful holiday destination, whether it's for sunbathing, sightseeing, or exploring nearby villages. The area is also famous for its gastronomy, such as paella and fresh seafood dishes.
