We want to introduce you to one of the most be beautiful town in the Levante coast, Altea, Spain! The town is known for its stunning old town, white labyrinthine streets and paved floors, for its promenade and its beaches.
Did you know Altea has been a refuge for many artists and writers since the 18th century? Well because of this the town has a Bohemian feel. Many painters have decorated houses and, for example, restaurants on both the inside and the outside over the years. Frescoes can also be found in various locations. Because of this past and present, there are many workshops, exhibition spaces and galleries in Altea. It’s truly a unique museum!
One thing you must do is wander through the old town. The streets around Iglesia parroquial de Nuestra Señora del Consuelo exude a special atmosphere. The white houses with plants on the façade, the narrow streets and the differences in height make a visit a very special experience. Tired feet of all that pleasant strolling? Visit one of the many stunning terraces for a cup of coffee, drink or Mediterranean meal, in the shade of the trees around the cafes in the old town or down at the harbor. Sounds like the perfect place, doesn’t it? Book your sustainable accommodation to this picturesque painters town at bookdifferent.com
