Ca Toni Restaurant
There are many great restaurants in Altea La Vella. Ca Toni, Giardinos, Valentinos, Bellinis, Ripol, Bernia to name a few. So plenty of places to eat without going out of the village. Please note that some of the delicious Spanish dishes like Paella and Lamb often needs to be ordered a day ahead as it takes a while to prepare.
There is a new and an old part to the village. The old part is on a small hill having tiny streets and a lovely church. You must look inside. In the newer part of the village there is a theatre, school, bars, cafes and shops, and a couple of bakers.
It only takes 4-5 minutes drive down to the village from the Urbanizations and there is plenty of parking up behind the bank. There is a 9 hole golf course nearby at Club Don Cayo.

The fantastic new promenade
Down at the seaside there is a very clean new Promenade which stretches along the town down to the little port. You'll find plenty of cafés along the way, oh... and bring some bread for the ducks!
