Guadalest, Spain

Guadalest is a true treat for anyone who really wants to see a glimpse of the “real” Spain...

the village only has around 2,000 year round inhabitants who are Spanish families making their living in the tourist season around their village.

Turning a corner and seeing Guadalest in the distance will give you the perfect first impression of a picturesque village anchored in a small valley. Beautiful sugar cube homes built on the tip of a mountain seeming to rise out of the valley reaching for the sky. Of course, many people travelling to the village of Guadalest are not there to see the stunning sugar cubed homes, but the incredible castle for which the village has been so renowned.
