Nestled between mountain ranges, away from the bustling beaches and nightlife of Alicante’s coast, lies the small yet popular town of Guadalest, also known as El Castell de Guadalest. The town overlooks a reservoir and valley that share its name, while above, a Moorish fortress perches on rocky peaks, accessible only by a tunnel. Visitors can explore the narrow, winding streets and take in the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the serene reservoir and the rugged mountains. The town’s unique position and historical architecture make it a fascinating destination for those interested in history and natural beauty.
