    TOUR F - GUADALEST

    Excursions

    • £40 - £50
    • approx. 4.5 hours
    • Limited capacity
    • Walking & steps

    En route to Guadalest, we shall travel through the villages of La Nucia and Polop, passing by orchids of nispero fruit. We will make a short stop at a local bar where we can try ‘moscatel’ – a typical drink of the region – and tapa, before proceeding.

    Guadalest was built as a castle town in the 16th century, and constructed into the surrounding rock. To reach the town itself, we will make our way through a tunnel built into the rock. Upon arrival at the top of the town, we can see spectacular views of the local reservoir with its marine blue waters.

    We will then be given some free time to explore independently. We can visit the range of craft and gift shops that Guadalest has to offer, or may choose to visit the Case de Orduña, which belonged to a noble family whose roots date back to the 17th century. Here we can see the town’s highest point, its white tower. The tower is a symbol of Guadalest and is noted for its striking appearance.

    TOUR NOTES: This tour involves approximately one hour of compulsory walking, some of which may be uphill, and steps will also be encountered, therefore it is not suitable for guests with limited mobility or wheelchair users. Those wishing to visit the Case de Orduña should be aware that there are many steps up to the tower, and an entrance fee (approximately four Euros per person – price correct at the time of printing). Guests will have approximately 45 minutes of free time, where walking is at the discretion of the individual. Those guests wishing to reach the viewpoint during their free time should note there is a walk of approximately 15 minutes through a tunnel, followed by around 50 steps to reach the upper part.
