Fuentes de Algar Waterfalls

Fuentes de Algar

Although there are lots of interesting places to visit along the Costa Blanca, the ‘Fuentes de Algar’ (el Algar waterfalls) natural park is perhaps one of the most picturesque. It is a natural beauty spot high up in the mountains behind Altea, which is incredibly green and rich in crystal clear water.

The ‘Algar Water Falls’ are found 2.5 km from the village of Callosa d’Ensarria, at the source of the river from which it's name is derived. The region is well known as a large fruit growing area and in particular for its groves of nisperos. Some 22 million kilos of nisperos are produced in the Guadalest and Algar valleys every year.

Once you have gained entrance to the waterfalls, you will feel the fresh clean air and hear the noise of the tumbling waters. You then arrive at the main pool to where the largest of the waterfalls cascades down. Many people take their first dip here, but do remember that the water is icy cold, even in the hot summer months.
