Altea, Coastal municipality in Marina Baixa, Spain
The Mediterranean town stretches along the Costa Blanca coastline, featuring white buildings that cascade down toward boulder-lined beaches and blue waters.
The settlement originated as a Greek marketplace named Althaia near the Algar river before falling under Moorish control until Christian reconquest in 1244.
The Mare de Déu del Consol church stands at the highest point of town, distinguished by its blue and white ceramic-tiled domes visible from great distances.
The municipality offers extensive support services for new businesses, including legal consultation and two years of monitoring for entrepreneurial projects.
The Castell de l'Olla festival presents a massive fireworks display launched over the Mediterranean Sea, attracting more than 50,000 spectators annually.
