Private Alicante, Guadalest and Algar shore excursion
Embark on a captivating 7-hour private tour from Alicante to Guadalest, where we will uncover some of Alicante's hidden gems. Our journey will take us into the heart of the historical city and then ascend into the mountains.
At Santa Barbara Castle, a magnificent historical site perched 166 meters above sea level, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the bay of Alicante.
Wander through the charming old town center, characterized by its quintessential Mediterranean ambiance. Here, you’ll also discover the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, constructed atop the remnants of a Moorish mosque.
Next, we will drive to Guadalest, which is dramatically situated atop a 500-meter-high rock overlooking a stunning lake.
This quaint village, of Arab origin and recognized as a Historical site, features the San José Castle, an 11th-century Muslim fortress accessed solely through a tunnel carved into the rock.
Overseeing the village, this castle was the first Muslim settlement in the region and later became part of the Crown of Aragon, with the fortress itself housing the entire town.
Our final stop will be the Algar Waterfalls, a natural wonder, before we make our way back to Alicante.
