Experience the magic of Altea's ‘Castell de l'Olla', a spectacular combination of music and fireworks, reflecting vibrant colours on the bay's waters. Celebrated every August, this tradition dating back decades originated from a tribute to a local pyrotechnician known as 'Uncle Blai, the rocketer', and has grown into a major Mediterranean event, attracting more than 70,000 onlookers. Months of preparation go into preparing the show, which covers a 'screen' of night sky up to 600 metres wide. Endorsed by UNESCO, this spectacle is launched entirely from the sea – enhancing the view from the coastline. We'll pick you up and bring to Altea, where you'll have free time to savour the party atmosphere.

'-sent us up to the church if altea with two prams, told us it was only a ‘slight incline” forgot to mention all the stairs and it was like a vertical pram push -had to come back down from the top as the view point was tiny and already full -went back to the place he gave as a second option and missed all the fireworks completely as there was no view from them at all. - had a very sad 4 and 1 year old. -adults went to celebrate their one year wedding anniversary there and was very let down.

Het vuurwerk is fantastisch! Als ik niet alleen had geweest, had ik de reis zelf gemaakt en de terugweg een taxi richting Benidorm genomen. 30euro voor eigenlijk alleen de busreis (vuurwerk kijken doe je apart/alleen) is wat veel
