Do you love exploring mountain villages and picturesque landscapes? Discover these stunning inland destinations in Alicante and go on a trip away with a rural twist.

 

Join us on a tour around some of Alicante’s most charming towns and villages. Boasting spectacular scenery and a rich, vibrant history, you'll love getting lost among the winding, cobbled streets. Want to find the perfect place for a getaway relaxing in nature?

Pretty towns and villages in Alicante

El Castell de Guadalest

Poised elegantly atop a rugged crag, this village in Alicante is a true delight. The spectacular views of the reservoir and the mountain range are reason enough to visit. We recommend strolling around the historic centre, then going on a circular walk around the bright blue lake. The hilly streets of El Castell de Guadalest, particularly those in the Castillo neighbourhood, are straight out of a fairytale. Make sure you visit the various museums in the village to dive deeper into the local history and culture. 

Finestrat

Finestrat is a great town for a leisurely amble, especially through the charming historic centre. This town offers the best of both worlds, set against a striking mountain backdrop at the base of the rocky Puigcampana and Ponotx mountain range and complemented by a charming coastal area.

This is an ideal destination if you like being in the midst of nature, hiking, cycling, and rock climbing.

La Vall de Gallinera

Let’s continue our tour of Alicante’s most picturesque towns and villages with a visit to La Vall de Gallinera. This municipality is made up of several small villages, each nestled within the beautiful mountain valley setting.

Time your trip well, and you might get to admire the cherry trees in bloom as you head off on a walk to visit the old castle remains.

Tárbena

Let’s pay a visit to Tárbena to round off our tour around Alicante’s villages and towns. Forget all your worries and spend time exploring this pretty corner of the province. Tárbena is defined by narrow streets and traditional rural houses, where time seems to stand still. There are plenty of hiking trails from the town centre that take you out into the scenic countryside. It’s also a great destination if you’re into rock climbing.

Visit these pretty towns and villages in Alicante for a getaway of pure relaxation, spending time immersing yourself in local Valencian culture, traditions and cuisine.
