Altea is a small town just north of Benidorm on the Mediterranean coastline of the Spanish Costa Blanca. Buying Altea property for sale is made easier as the nearest airport is El Altet - Alicante's international airport located about 20 km south of Alicante city.
Altea's idyllic "Old Town" is found on and around a hilltop 500 meters from the sea. No wonder Altea property for sale has become a favorite place to purchase and work for artists of all kind. The "Old Town" has some rather narrow - and partly - very steep streets, and in certain parts of this charming city it's not possible to drive a car. And as can be expected the center of the "Old Town" is located around the church on the very top of the hill. From here you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the coastline, spotting the small town of Albir a few kilometers away, and Benidorm in the distance.
It's easy to understand why Altea became a Bohemian centre for musicians, artists and writers from all over Europe who travelled to Spain and discovered its delights back in the early 60s with many people now buying Altea property for sale in the area. The town is now geared to the demands of the modern day tourist but still retains that Bohemian air. You'll find a fascinating array of tiny shops offering exquisite local crafts, paintings and gifts. There are top class restaurants where you can enjoy the local seafood and rice dishes as well as some excellent international cuisine.
Down at the seafront you'll find a series of pebble and shingle beaches where many water sports are available during the summer months. The seafront promenade is also the venue for the huge Tuesday market, one of the biggest of its kind on the Costa Blanca. It's the place to pick up some great bargains (Moroccan rugs, cheap clothing, ceramics etc) along with some "designer" watches, T-shirts and sunglasses.
