Platja de l'Albir

A truly beautiful sight: Altea's small harbor lies at the transition between the promenade and the coast, blending harmoniously into the seascape. Not all areas are fenced off – some zones are freely accessible and invite you to take a short stroll. From the town center or directly from the promenade, a flat, pleasant route leads to the Club Náutico Altea. The route runs predominantly along quiet streets or wide sections of the promenade and is ideal for both leisurely bike rides and short daily commutes. You'll be accompanied almost constantly by a view of the sea, and the harbor itself is hard to miss: it stands prominently at the southern end of the beach promenade.

Small (rocky) island off the coast of Altea or in the Bahia de Altea. The path there runs directly by the sea and is easy to navigate.

Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Michael the Archangel in Altea

Highlight • Religious Site

In Altea, in the Mascarat district, Spain's first Russian Orthodox church has been built. Specialists were flown in from Siberia specifically for the construction, and they erected the Church of San Miguel Arcangel under the unusually mild temperatures. The building is a replica of 17th-century Russian Orthodox churches, and all the materials for this extraordinary structure came from the Ural Mountains.

A Russian billionaire is said to have built the church for his mother. A success! 👍

Russian Orthodox Church of San Miguel Arcangel Altea - Local name: Iglesia Ortodoxa de San Miguel Arcángel. The wooden church was opened in 2007. It is the only freestanding church in Spain under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church. The parish to which it belongs was founded on the initiative of the Bock family – Russian immigrants who came to Altea in 1996.

Calpe Promenade and View of Peñón de Ifach

Highlight • Viewpoint

The imposing Peñón de Ifach offers a magnificent welcome to the town of Calpe. This majestic promontory is the undisputed centerpiece of the natural park of the same name, one of the most important symbols of the Costa Blanca.

However, Calpe is not only famous for this unique setting. Its more than 12 kilometers of coastline, with long beaches and small hidden coves, are another of its many attractions.

Sant Pere Park - Altea

Highlight • Beach

A section worth seeing in Altea or at the Parque de Sant Pere, which runs parallel to the beach. Beautiful to look at! This route combines the modern coast of Albir with the charming, historic flair of Altea and offers a breathtaking backdrop with sea views and Mediterranean charm. There are numerous small beach bars and cafes along the route, ideal for a break with a view of the sea.

We leave Benidorm after a hearty breakfast, first through the pine forests to Altea, then along the beautiful promenade to Calpe. The N332 is very spectacular. We watched the bungalow jumper 60 meters down; my heart was pounding just watching. Calpe is especially beautiful, the old town and the skyline.
