If you are looking to enjoy a purely Mediterranean landscape, Altea, also known as the Pearl of the Costa Blanca, is the ideal option for you. And it is that this pretty town, full of narrow streets, with whitewashed houses with viewpoints to the mountains of Aitana, Bèrnia, Puigcampana, Punta de l’Albir, Morró de Toix and Penyal d’Ifac.
