Perched high above an emerald reservoir, Guadalest is a medieval fortress village of jaw-dropping views, 9 unique museums, and authentic Valencian life — just 30 minutes from Benidorm.
About Guadalest
Guadalest is one of the most visited towns in the Valencian Community — and once you've been, it's easy to understand why. The village is built on and into a rocky outcrop, accessible only through a tunnel carved into the rock itself.
The views over the turquoise Guadalest reservoir are simply unforgettable. With nine very different museums packed into a tiny medieval village, there's far more to discover than you'd expect.
The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon, when the tour groups have gone and the light turns golden over the mountains.
