Excursions Excursions Isla de Tabarca (Island of Tabarca) This island is in fact a natural monument, and is the only inhabited island in the Valencian Country. It is 11 nautical miles from Alicante. The waters around the island are now listed as a Marine Reserve. The island has an important set of fortifications, an 18th-century church and the Castle of San José. Tabarca was declared a Historical-Artistic Monument in 1964. Kon Tiki (tel: (965) 21 63 96) have boats departing several times a day from Muelle de Costa 2. The journey to the island takes about 30 minutes. Altea Located less than an hour’s drive north in the direction of Valencia, Altea is set on a small hill overlooking a stretch of coastline. The restricted tourist development is centred on the sea front, and the town has retained its character and charm. The old village on the hill is a picturesque one, with its blue-domed church and white houses, all decorated with beautiful flower displays. Contact Tourist Info Altea, Carrer Sant Pere 9 (tel: (965) 84 41 14) for more information. |
