Climate in Altea

Altea has a Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters. Summer temperatures often reach around 30°C, while winter days generally remain pleasant.

Its direct coastal position also provides a sea breeze during many warmer days.

This makes outdoor living an important part of everyday life. Terraces, walks along the promenade, water sports and outdoor dining can be enjoyed during much of the year.

An international community

Alongside its Spanish residents, Altea has a significant international community. Dutch, Belgian, British, German and Scandinavian residents are among those who have chosen the area.

Despite this international presence, Altea has retained a strong Spanish and Mediterranean character. The historic centre in particular feels very different from the newer residential areas surrounding the town.

Culture and the historic centre

One of Altea's best-known features is its historic old town. Narrow streets, whitewashed houses, small squares and viewpoints create a distinctive atmosphere.

The Nuestra Señora del Consuelo church with its blue domes is one of the most recognisable landmarks on the Costa Blanca.

Altea is also known for art, galleries, craft shops and cultural events. This gives the town a more artistic and creative character than many other coastal destinations.

Well-known coastal areas include Playa de la Roda, Cap Negret and La Olla.
