The Calle Mayor in the old town of Altea is a short street, which connects El Portal Vell (lower part of the street) with the Plaza de la Iglesia (upper part).
It stands out for its characteristic stone paving and because it is home to some of the best restaurants and craft shops.
This photograph in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia, was taken with a mirrorless camera shortly before dawn. The blue sky that we can see in the background corresponds to the Plaza de la Iglesia.
We are located in the Marina Baja region, on the Mediterranean coast of the bay of Altea, south of Calpe and north of Alfaz del Pi.
The town of Altea is part of the Douzelage, a European twinning plan between various cities of member countries of the European Union. In addition, it has held the official title of Cultural Capital of the Valencian Community.
In Altea is the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Miguel Hernández University. As a curiosity, the automobile brand Seat took its name from one of its car models, a compact minivan with a sporty character.
