It would take to visit quite a few villages
to find one with such peculiar features as Finestrat. To begin with, its
singular relief will take us from 0 m. Of altitude on the beach to over
1.000 m. At the top of impressive Puig Campana in less than 10 Km. Then
there is its pure mediterranean landscape, almost intact, markedby
hills covered with pine trees or typical cultivation trees: almond
trees, olive trees and carob trees, together with small orchards where
oranges, pomegranates and loquats blossom. But
it is not only its climate, its situation or its landscapes that make
Finestrat a desirable place. There is also its peculiar character as a
village, an old muslim farmstead, wich has been preserved without great
changes, including it physical structure. To live in Finestrat is to be
part of a quiet, no too busy community, where the appeal of first-rate
tourist centres is very close by. Only fifteen
minutes on a good road and you can be in the middle of the tourist and
city hustle and bustle of Benidorm, or the calmer but always lively
lifestyle of Villajollosa or Altea
