ALICANTE
BEST KEPT SECRET

About one hour north of Alicante lies Quatretondeta a tiny mountain village , 2000ft above sea -level.. Dating back to Moorish times, almonds and olives are still the main produce of this village. As the locals say, "50 miles and 50 years away from Benidorm". Picturesque to perfection.

WALK

For a more refined, if slightly more arduous walk, the HOTEL ELS FRARES in Quatretondeta offers walking holidays through the peaks and gorges of the mountains that surround Alicante.

BEST PLACES TO STAY

The HOTEL ELS FRARES in Quatretondeta is run by an English couple. It has 9 bedrooms ,all with fantastic views of the mountains and the town. Three cottages are also for hire.
