Guadalest

Without a doubt, El Castell de Guadalest is one of the best places to visit on Costa Blanca. The village is full of history, streets and buildings hiding fascinating secrets, and spectacular views over the Guadalest Valley.

Guadalest reservoir is famous for its blue-green waters. This 'lake' is ideal for swimming and practising water sports such as canoeing or paddle surfing.

How long you need to visit Guadalest. If you just want to see the town of Guadalest, a half-day is ideal. But if you want to do some hiking around the town or the reservoir then you could be there a full day (I'll have a bit more on that later).
