What do people like (and dislike) about Altea?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Altea, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads living in Altea appreciate the town's relaxed atmosphere and stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. They also enjoy the mild climate, with temperatures rarely dropping below 10°C in winter and rarely rising above 30°C in summer. Additionally, the town's proximity to larger cities such as Valencia and Alicante makes it an ideal base for exploring the region. On the downside, expats and digital nomads may find the cost of living in Altea to be higher than in other parts of Spain. Additionally, the town's small size can make it difficult to find a wide variety of activities and entertainment," commented one expat who made the move to Altea, Spain.
