Finestrat

A colourful cliff-top village at the foot of Puig Campana, with a viewpoint at the castle ruins overlooking Benidorm's skyline and the Mediterranean.

The old village of Finestrat is built on a cliff at the foot of Puig Campana. White and coloured houses line the rock face, and stone-paved lanes wind uphill. At the highest point, the castle ruins (El Castell) and a small chapel of the Virgin Mary form a viewpoint over Benidorm's high-rise skyline, the Mediterranean and the Puig Campana behind, with the best light in the evening. The old village is about 10 km from Benidorm. Its lanes are quiet, and a few restaurants have views, so it is good for an hour or two of wandering. It is also a common starting point for climbing Puig Campana. Driving or taking a taxi is most convenient, and there is a car park at the village entrance.
