Altea
Altea occupies a Mediterranean coastal strip beneath the Serra de Bèrnia in Spain’s Valencian Community. Its seafront extends along the Costa Blanca, where a marina concentrates sailing boats beside apartment-lined promenades and the open Mediterranean. Above the shore, Altea’s old town climbs a hill in a web of whitewashed lanes. Its defining landmark is the tiled blue dome of the Church of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, which crowns the Plaza de la Iglesia. The meeting of a leisure harbour, modern waterfront development and an elevated historic quarter gives Altea a distinctive coastal character. The limestone slopes of the Bèrnia range form a rugged setting behind the town.

Altea combines a whitewashed hilltop old town with a Mediterranean seafront in a way that reflects its position on the Bay of Altea, below the Sierra de Bernia. Cobbled lanes in the historic centre rise to the Church of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, recognised by its blue-and-white tiled domes. From the church square, the town slopes towards the coast, where a promenade follows pebble beaches and the marina. Altea is also home to the Faculty of Fine Arts of Miguel Hernández University, reinforcing the town’s longstanding association with artists.

The Valencian Community has served as a Mediterranean cultural crossroads within eastern Spain since the Middle Ages. Its coastline on the Balearic Sea extends from the Costa del Azahar to the Costa Blanca, while the Turia and Júcar rivers cross fertile plains inland. Valencia, the regional capital, was the centre of the medieval Kingdom of Valencia, founded in 1238, and preserves the Silk Exchange, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Rice cultivation around the Albufera lagoon informs local cooking, including paella, while the annual Fallas festivities fill Valencia with sculpture, fire and civic ritual.

Spain extends from the Cantabrian coast to the Canary Islands, encompassing Atlantic shores, Mediterranean beaches and the broad interior Meseta. The Pyrenees form its northeastern frontier, while the Guadalquivir crosses Andalusia on its way to the Atlantic. Madrid anchors the country’s political and cultural life, but distinct regional identities are central to Spain’s character: Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and Andalusia each have their own languages or strong local traditions. Granada’s Alhambra is a major monument of the medieval Nasrid dynasty, and Santiago de Compostela remains the destination of the Camino de Santiago.
