Description

On this unique tour in a private car, you will visit: 1. The famous Algar Natural Park with waterfalls and a mountain river. 2. The medieval castle of Guadalest and its village located at the foot. Total tour duration is about 5 hours. Timing: - Trip from Alicante to Algar 1 hour. - Inside Algar Park 1 hour. - Trip from Algar to Guadalest 30 minutes. - Visit to the castle and village of Guadalest 1.5 hours. - Trip from Guadalest to Alicante 1 hour. The Algar waterfall visit consists of a 1.5 km long circuit along the bed of the Algar river ('cave' in Arabic) to see the landscape resulting from the karst modelling of the limestone rock: the spectacular waterfalls; the numerous springs that spring from the Doroca; the 'tolls' (backwaters) of pure and crystalline waters, formerly considered as a 'source of health'; the old dam, the imposing canal and the centuries-old irrigation channels still in use today. Take in the spectacular views as you ride along the mountainous river. The Guadales Tour consists of visiting a small village in which the castle is located and the castle itself. Our driver will accompany you around the village. The village itself is an open-air museum. You will walk through narrow medieval streets paved with stone. You will pass through a gate carved into the rock many centuries ago. Visiting (entrance) to the village is free. Also free entry to the medieval church. The castle itself is a fortress (fortification) and living quarters. The rulers of the region lived in this house. The castle has preserved the furnishings of the 17th-18th centuries. Furniture, paintings, and interior items are perfectly preserved and of great value. After you are met by private transport (car), we will embark on an unforgettable journey to medieval Spain. Along the way, you will enjoy spectacular mountain scenery and authentic Spanish towns. The castle is divided into two areas: the neighbourhood of the Castle, located on top of the rock and surrounded by the walls of the castle, and the neighborhood's Outskirts, which was created later and population extends from the skirt of the mountain. The castle is an open-air museum. The castle grounds are full of authentic shops serving local food and beverages most of which can be tasted.
