Day trip to Guadalest, Altea and the Algar Waterfalls from Alicante

4.5/5
9 reviews

Discover the towns of Guadalest and Altea, and the waterfalls of Fuentes del Algar on a day trip from Alicante.

Depart from Alicante and, after a brief stop in Benidorm, travel first to the coastal town of Altea. Explore this gem of the Costa Blanca with your guide and wander through the cobbled streets of its old town and its white houses featuring lovingly decorated balconies. Once the walking tour is over, enjoy free time to continue exploring, making your way to panoramic viewpoints. Take a walk on the beach or try the local cuisine with views of the Mediterranean.

Then, travel a short distance to Guadalest, one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Spain. Enjoy a guided walking tour as you learn about the history of the town. See the Castillo de San José and admire the imposing fortress surrounded by mountains with panoramic views. Stroll through the town, where you have the opportunity to visit the Microminiatures Museum, the Microgigante Museum, the Salt and Pepper Shakers Museum, or the Ethnological Museum.

The last leg of this excursion takes you to Fuentes del Algar (Algar Springs), a natural area which was declared a Protected Wet Zone, offering spectacular waterfalls that provide great biodiversity to the environment. Here, you'll have two hours of free time to take a swim and enjoy this place. This tour allows you to get to know three beautiful places in the province of Alicante in a single day.

    The guide (Isaac) was very kind, gave a lot of information and showed us around at the three places for about 10 minutes. After that we were free to explore by our own, 1.5 hour at each of the three sites. The driver (Marco) was also excellent: driving smoothly and carefully. All well arranged! We only had bad luck with the weather, rainy until 14:00 hours.

    Our guide Karen was fun and relaxed and gave us a lot of information about the sites. We felt like we were running out of time at the sites, maybe because they were so interesting and beautiful. Would recommend!

    This was my last day in sunny Spain before heading to not so sunny Scotland. A really enjoyable trip made even better by our host Danny, very knowledgeable, funny and offered great tips. I never realised how mountainy the Alicante area was with some breathtaking scenery. A nod to our coach driver.
