ALFAZ DEL PI AND LA NUCIA

Alfaz del Pi despite its size, is one of the most salubrious and cosmopolitan towns on the Costa Blanca North.  It boasts a grand Casa de Cultura which is home to a number of multi cultural societies and clubs, suitable for all ages.  It is a thriving little town with lots of up and coming businesses operating through the day, and by night the town comes alive with the abundance of bars and restaurants to suit all budgets and tastes.  There are Fiestas with street processions leading to the Church in the bustling town square providing an unrivalled atmosphere. Alfaz and its neighbouring town of La Nucia benefit from the cooler summer temperatures thanks to the Aitana mountain range situated directly behind them, not to mention the fact that they provide the residents with absolutely stunning mountain views and some of the best hiking and horse riding trails in the Costa Blanca.

ALTEA

Altea is one of the most prestigious areas in Costa Blanca and is home to our office here. If you have been to the Costa Blanca before, you will have passed by and admired the azul blue tower to the Moorish church that sits high above the town. For a taste of real Spain, make your way up into the town through the narrow cobbled streets, passing the old white washed townhouses as you go. Here you will find what you are looking for, restaurants and cafes that spill out into the square giving you plenty of opportunity to soak up the ambience. Here in the square you will also find the old church, wander across from here to the view point and you will be met with a superb view out over Altea, the port and mountains that define the coast. If you want a nice walk after lunch, head along the beachside walk way, which ultimately leads to Albir, another neighbouring resort, there are plenty of cafes or nice bars along the way.

Altea has a lot to offer, including the Greenwich Marina, home to many yachts and still have spaces available; this is also a nice place for an afternoon stroll and stop for a coffee along the marina. Up into the hills, you will find Altea Hills. This is very much a residential area with properties that offer sea views that you could only get from here. Here you will also find the 5* Melia hotel with all the facilities that you would expect from such a resort.

Be it old Spanish charm that you seek, or a luxurious villa location, Altea has it all.
