Altea Marina

Highlight • Structure

A truly beautiful sight: Altea's small harbor lies at the transition between the promenade and the coast, blending harmoniously into the seascape. Not all areas are fenced off – some zones are freely accessible and invite you to take a short stroll. From the town center or directly from the promenade, a flat, pleasant route leads to the Club Náutico Altea. The route runs predominantly along quiet streets or wide sections of the promenade and is ideal for both leisurely bike rides and short daily commutes. You'll be accompanied almost constantly by a view of the sea, and the harbor itself is hard to miss: it stands prominently at the southern end of the beach promenade.

Molí Vell or Molí dels Moros

Highlight • Historical Site

The Molí Vell, or Moorish Mill, as we know it today, is the architectural structure of the house and the remains of an old medieval mill, possibly from the Andalusian period, associated with the Reg Vell d'Altea.

It is located near the Algar River on a river terrace on the right bank and dominates the riverbed. Currently, access is via the path that runs along the right bank. The surrounding landscape consists of terraced orchards where fruit and vegetables are grown with high profitability, located very close to the so-called Algoletjes on the banks of the Algar.

There are accounts of its existence in the Middle Ages, possibly related to the Alquería de Benimussa. The Carta Puebla of 1617 mentions the earlier existence of irrigation ditches such as the Reg Vell or the Molí (Pastor Fluixà, pp. 89, 91). This particular ditch would transport water to its pond to power the mill. Its location therefore lies within the future hydraulic system of what was later called the Reg Major or Baix.

Explanatory panel in Valencian, Spanish, and English. Very detailed and clear.

A beautiful “tunnel” created by the surrounding vegetation

Highlight • Trail

The trail is absolutely doable! The MTB S0 classification is actually appropriate, and in places it changes to S1, but without any further difficulty. Partly a “cycle path”.

Guadalest River

Highlight • River

The path was badly damaged in the last storm and is no longer passable for mountain bikers! A large wave was released from the dam, which turned the path into a field of rubble; there are also some very large holes that were difficult even for us hikers. Individual sections are passable, the path as a whole no longer.
