Alicante Excursions
Located less than an hour's drive north in the direction of Valencia, Altea is set on a small hill overlooking a stretch of coastline. The restricted tourist development is centred on the seafront and the town has retained its character and charm. The old village on the hill is a picturesque one, with its blue-domed church and white houses, all decorated with beautiful flowers. Contact Tourist Info Altea, Carrer Sant Pere 9 (tel: (96) 584 4114), for more information.
Terra Natura Wildlife Park is a great way to spend the day with the family. This recently inaugurated wildlife park (website: www.terranatura.com) is outside the famous tourist resort of Benidorm, about an hour's drive north of Alicante. There's also a theme park called Terra Mitica (tel: 902 020 220; website: www.terramiticapark.com).
