Guadalest Dam

Highlight • Monument

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.

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.

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.

Guadalest Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

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! 👍

Embassament de Guadalest, the reservoir of Guadalest, 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 popular excursion 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.

Polop de la Marina

Highlight • Settlement

When it comes to the most beautiful towns in Alicante, Polop de la Marina always has a place on the list, as few places have as much charm and tourist attraction as this beautiful little corner of Alicante.
