We will continue the day with a guided tour of the village of GUADALEST.
The tiny village of Guadalest is a spectacular sight, perched precariously on a lofty crag and topped by the ruins of a medieval castle. Its picture-postcard charm draws crowds of day-trippers, yet Guadalest has managed to keep its medieval allure. The upper village is accessed by a tunnel hewn through the rock; beneath is the chaotic sprawl of the old Muslim quarter, with a souk-like string of souvenir shops and cafés. The view from the castle walls at the very summit of the village extends all the way down to the coast.

Free evening in Altea.
