leisurely exercise or a more experienced enthusiast

of sea and mountain combined will not fail to
impress.

to do and all round family fun days out. For nature
lovers a visit to the Fonts de Algar, a natural
waterfall in the hills behind Altea, is a must.

the high stalactites and raising stalagmites.

some of the most spectacular views in the country.
