Altea
From the "punta del Mascarat” set in a bay, Altea has found a nook between the sea and the mountains, granting an almost symbolic image of the Costa Blanca.
With the blue and white dome of its Parochial Church, the municipality
spreads down to the Mediterranean Sea. Small and beautiful coves and beaches extend along a littoral riddled with the same captivating white charm held by the town itself.
Altea has one of the most important bays in the whole of the Valencian Community. The bay of Altea
is noted not only for its beauty but for its environmental value and
for its rich resources. Despite pressure from urban development,
tourist, leisure activities and fishing in the area the large underwater
meadows of Posidoniaoceanica that are an important
part of the ecosystem remain healthy. The Posidoniaoceanica is commonly
known as Neptune Grass or Mediterranean tape weed. This plant is of
vital importance for the reproduction and breeding of many marine
animals.
