Transport details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Other

* WHEELCHAIR is possible( because of my car, portable wheelchair or walker) but meant to be taken with car to the terraces square( check pictures of terrain) Excursion: Vehicule could be my Audi 4 GTI 2012 or a rental one. Ask availability. For a bigger party also ask for rental of vans, 6 seats... Note: If you like to be 4, one of them is sitting in the middle seat of a luxury or rental car. Not to be extra but 4 can be squeeze.. Walk and Hike: - Once in Altea, most of the exploring is on foot, with gentle walking in the main areas s an option too, since the villages are famous for its charming streets, many of which are paved with cobblestones, as shown in the photos. I could get the car to the Square and pick you up in case of a "condition" - For those who enjoy a more active adventure, the hike up the mountain offers a steeper, more challenging route with rewarding views. We can also choose to create our own path if you prefer.
