Where to stay in Altea
Altea's old town is the most atmospheric place to base yourself, and staying in Old Town puts you within easy walking distance of the Convent Market and the pretty cobbled streets around it. For a comfortable hotel option, Hotel SPA Terraza is a solid choice with views over the coast.
