Guadalest:
Guadalest is a fascinating village with many shops and museums and a good selection of restaurants as well as a municipal swimming pool that is open from the end of June to the beginning of September. It is possible to spend hours just meandering around the little streets, visiting the numerous museums, stopping for a coffee or a snack taking in the history, people watching or maybe walking in the beautiful mountainous countryside.
Costa Blanca:
Guadalest is an ideal centre for visiting other attractions and places of interest on the Costa Blanca. Casa Nido is just 15km, or 15 minutes drive, to the Fontes de Algar waterfalls at Bolulla, that you will see featured on some postcards of the area, and approximately 25km, or 30 mins drive, to the coastal towns of Villajoyosa the home of Spanish chocolate, Benidorm with its beaches and theme parks as well as Altea for the fishing port and boat trips and Calpe for its fascinating rock, the Penon de Ifach plus more beaches and shops. In the other direction at around 25km, or a 30 minute drive, you will arrive at the Aitana Safari Park and further afield, towards Alicante, the spectacular Cuevas de Canalobre.
Travelling north along the coast you will find the safari park at Vergel and caves at Benidoleig along with the towns of Denia, Javea and Moraira. The village of Gata is well known for its wicker goods and here also is a Spanish guitar factory here that you can look around.
How To Get There:
Apartment Nido is in Guadalest, one of the most popular inland villages on the Costa Blanca. It is just 20km from the motorway junction and just 100 metres to the shops and restaurants. The journey from Alicante airport is 87km, and being mostly motorway takes just an hour. From Valencia airport it is 160 km and will take 95 minutes, again nearly all motorway.
Flights to Alicante are available from a number of airlines including AerLingus, BMI Baby, British Airways, Easyjet, First Choice, FlyBe, FlyGlobespan, Jet 2, Monarch, Ryanair, and Thomsonfly which operate from a large number of UK Airports.
