Algar River Dam

Highlight • Monument

Small dam on the Algar River where the Guadalest joins it. There are some information panels about the local flora and fauna.

Tip by

26.6 km

A steep, asphalted road leads down to the back of the dam. If the large iron gate is closed, there is a smaller, unlocked door in the fence. Driving through is permitted, and the trail is open to mountain bikes all the way down to the coastline in Altea.

Guadalest Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Embassament de Guadalest, the Guadalest reservoir, is certainly one of the most famous reservoirs in the area from Torrevieja to Alicante. Thanks to the beautiful castle in Guadalest with the even more fantastic view of the reservoir, this lake is known to many people and is a very popular tour destination.

Excellent! The tour around the reservoir is a real highlight! 👌🚴‍♀️👏 The path leads around the entire reservoir, and the Castell Guadalest can be viewed from all sides. The route around the lake can either be started over the dam and followed the path along the water or the tour can be started in the mountain village of Beniardá.

TOP tour. The path leads around the entire reservoir, and the Castell Guadalest can be viewed from all sides. The route around the lake leads over the dam and through the mountain village of Beniardá. Worth seeing! 👍

Blick on Guadalest

Highlight • Lake

An impressive experience with stunning views. The tour is well worth it! The view of Guadalest is one of the most breathtaking panoramic experiences in the Costa Blanca hinterland. The historic mountain village is spectacularly situated on a cliff high above the Guadalest River valley. From viewpoints in the surrounding area, a breathtaking panorama unfolds: the old houses cling to the steep rock face, the ruins of Guadalest Castle tower above, and below, the turquoise waters of the Guadalest Reservoir shimmer. This combination of rock, water, and medieval architecture makes the view of Guadalest one of the most beautiful photo opportunities in the Alicante region.

Beniardá Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great section, the start of the trail is well described. Since there is nothing further to come, you should take a closer look at the small mountain village of Beniardá, which is well worth seeing, and use the bar for a break.

Guadalest Castle

Highlight • Castle

Castell de Guadalest is a charming municipality in the province of Alicante, located in a mountainous area of the Marina Baixa region. This picturesque town is known for its impressive medieval castle and its panoramic views.
Although only the remains of this impressive building remain, we can get an idea of its importance thanks to its strategic position and the fabulous views it offers.
