Albir is a lovely and quiet seaside resort with numerous bars and restaurants. It is also a short bus ride or drive to the coastal resort of Benidorm with its very busy night life. The beach is very clean and the promenade well presented.

Coast review

City review

A small village in a nice scenery- offering a nice beach and small restaurants to visit in the nights. Situated close to Altea and Benidorm - and with Vila Joiosa not too far away. Almost perfect when you want a quiet holiday, but also with possibilities if you want to accuaint other travellers.

Coast review

A very beautiful coastline from Sierra Helada to the Calpe Cliff- and perhaps the greenest valley in the whole eastern Spanish coastline. A walk to the lighthouse than can take the breath out of you. Not easy to find a better coastline.

It is not that spectacular, but you can go out for dinner at some nice places (and not expensive) and the boulevard is beautiful at night.

Coast review

The best! I went to Costa Brava before, but i liked this much better! Blue sea, nice beaches, you can go party, but there is a lot more to do in the neighbourhood.
