White Walls, Blue Domes, and Major Chill

#summervacay Wandering around Altea town is like stepping into a Mediterranean daydream. Everything’s whitewashed, flower-covered, and ridiculously pretty. You start at the bottom near the beach, then slowly wind your way up through narrow cobbled streets, getting distracted by cute shops, art galleries, and hidden cafés every five steps. As you climb, the views just get better and better, rooftops, the sea, and mountains all in one postcard-perfect frame. And when you hit the top? Boom: that iconic blue-domed church, Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, sitting pretty like it owns the place (because it kinda does). The vibe here is super chill, super artsy, and just slow in the best way. No honking, no rushing, just soft music from open windows and the occasional cat lounging in the sun. Perfect for a relaxed afternoon stroll, camera in hand, gelato in the other. Altea doesn’t need to shout to impress. It’s peaceful, pretty, and full of charm that sneaks up on you. Total feel-good town.
