Book your cheap hotel in Altea

Located in the province of Alicante in Spain, Altea is a town that lies on the section of the Mediterranean coast called the Costa Blanca. The town’s popularity with tourists started to explode in the 1950s, and it has retained its reputation ever since as one of the leading holiday destinations on the Costa Blanca.

With stunning beaches and classic whitewashed houses sitting in a labyrinth of cobbled streets, Altea boasts a charming Spanish culture that tourists cannot resist.

One of the many factors in Altea’s success with domestic and international visitors is the wide availability of cheap and affordable hotel accommodation throughout the town.


Neighbourhoods of Altea

Altea consists of a number of surrounding districts:

  • Old Town: The old and historic section of Altea is perched on the top of a hill, which offers stunning panoramic views along with a taste of what the traditional Altea culture was like generations ago. Popular photo opportunities here are the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Consuelo and the adjacent hilltop Cronistas Viewpoint .
  • La Marina: As the name suggests, this is the marina section of the town, filled with small independent shops and cafes that you can stop in for refreshments during a busy day of sightseeing.
  • The Beaches: Claiming 6 km of coastline gives Altea a number of lovely beaches. Because they are pebble beaches rather than sand, L’Olla, Solsida, Cap Negret, Albir, Cala del Mascarat, and La Roda do not attract the huge crowds of other towns on the Costa Blanca but they all offer safe bathing and swimming.
