The charming village of Guadalest is one of the best days out in the province of Alicante. Surrounded by the Aitana, Serella & Xorta Mountains the village is widely recognised as being a historically important site, as well as one of great beauty.

Once a military stronghold of great strategic importance, Guadalest is the site of several ancient fortifications. Dating back to 715AD the town is of Islamic origin. It was relied on heavily by the Moors in their bid for control of the region, & again by European forces in the war of Spanish succession.
Today there are 2 main parts to the village; the first is the fortification, a huge area high on the mountain, where the majority of the population lived within the protection of its high walls. The second being the houses that the Moors lived in, which run outwards from the gate of San Jose (the only entrance to the fortification). This part of the town has been (tastefully) extended over the years, & is now home to many little streets & squares, giving the town a very unique appeal.

The town has many visitors (especially during the summer months), although this has done little to affect its aesthetic appeal. As a result a variety of small museums & a host of cafes & restaurants are open for business. You are able to pick up a vast selection of local and national products; a good place to buy some interesting gifts. The wine, honey crafts are amongst the best you can find.
Guadalest is located approximately 25 kilometres inland from Benidorm & can be reached via the CV-70 road. If travelling from Alicante the journey should take no longer than 1 houR.
