As we have mentioned before, Alicante is a beautiful city with a gorgeous old town, vibrant shopping areas, a great marina and lovely beaches. The city is full of history.

If you are staying at our rental apartment in the complex of Alfaz del Sol, located in the town of Alfaz del Pi, then a visit to the enchanting district of SANTA CRUZ in the city is a must. You can get there cheaply via tram or bus from Alfaz del Sol where the apartment is located.

At the foot of the Santa Barbara Castle in Alicante’s old town, is the charming neighbourhood of Santa Cruz. Narrow streets full of character, flowers, potted plants, and colourful doorways, make this area an absolute delight to stroll around and feel enlightened. One of the best kept treasures on the Costa Blanca, and a truly magical place to visit, the streets of Santa Cruz are adorned with colour, history and tradition.

There are many stunning places to visit from Sunnyside Alfaz del Pi. If you choose to let our apartment there are many ancient and old religious buildings to see. There is also a stunning newer church we highly recommend.

After the ending of the Cold War, the coastal resort towns north of Alicante became popular with Russians, both ex-pats and vacation home holders. But until 2007, many of the Russians in the area didn’t have a suitable place to worship.

A Russian entrepreneur decided to change that, funding the construction of Spain’s first purpose-built Russian Orthodox Church.

This church was built in Altea.

The Church was named St Michael’s Russian Orthodox Church and is stunning both inside and out and well worth visiting. It is open to the public most day from 10.00am until 2.00 pm

As you would expect the church is sited near the millionaire development of Altea Hills

If you are a walker or a fan of wild swimming then if you stay in our apartment, Sunnyside Alfaz del pi on the complex of Alfaz del Sol then you must visit Les Fonts de Algar!

The Algar Waterfalls, located a short drive away from our apartment is one of the most beautiful places to visit. It is a picturesque nature reserve with spectacular scenery featuring water cascades, crystal clear pools, lush greenery and picnic spots. Your visit will take you on a 1.5km walk way meandering along the Algar River, which includes some stone steps and rocky pathways. There are plenty of viewpoints to stop and rest, fresh natural springs to take a dip, and areas to chill out with a picnic.

The pretty little town situated next to the waterfalls offers a lovely selection of traditional Spanish restaurants and souvenir.

For those of you of a certain age, the famous Timotei shampoo advert was filmed here.

We are currently full until Mid November. For booking details please message.

There are many beautiful walks in and around Albir and our favourite has to be the walk along the Sierra Helada Natural park to El Faro. The views are outstanding as you can see from these photos. This is the case at all times of the year, but it has to be said that they are most spectacular close to sunset in the winter months.

We have availability in our apartment in November and December. This is one of the walks you could go onto enjoy some Winter Sun, if you stayed in Sunnyside.

Most people have heard of the beautiful hilltop town of Altea but just a bit further up there is another quaint little village, also with a lovely, if not smaller, old town. That place is Altea la Vella.

This lovely little find has several garden restaurants and our favourite has to be Melitón Jardín.

You can choose to sit in the beautiful gardens or inside and share a 3 course lunch for about £15 or eat off the a la carte. We went last week and it was stunning, both in surroundings and food.

Here are some photos of what you can expect.

If you stay at Alfaz del Sol in our apartment this little beauty is a short taxi ride away or you can catch a bus from Altea.

If you do book, one of the wide range of restaurants you must visit is Toro Negro, found just outside the town of Alfaz del Pi. You choose your meat, literally from the butchers counter and it is then served to you and your friends on boards at your table…….. doesn’t this food look amazing?

Well, it has to be said that Benidorm is a holiday resort which divides opinion!!!

The truth is that this vibrant resort does actually have something for everyone, from the amazing miles of sunny, sandy beaches and the magic of the old town to the party zone and the British strip, with its British pubs, cabaret bars and clubs.

The one thing that is common to all is the amazing sunsets that can be experienced here sitting in a beach side bar or one of the exclusive terraces of the promenade hotels.

Benidorm is about a 20 minute bus ride from our apartment in Alfaz del Sol.

Whether you like Benidorm or not, you should experience these sunsets. The bus ride is just over an euro on the Number 10 bus. The buses here are hassle free as it’s a set price, no matter where you want to go on the Number 10.
