Alcoy (Costa Blanca):
Situated in the mountainous hinterland behind Altea
Alcoy is a very Spanish town at the crossing of several
major routes. Mountain ranges affect the climate and
any fertile land is intensively farmed by the residents
many of whom still stick to the traditional life style
of rural Spain .
As with many areas away from the coast your money will
go a lot further here and you will find a life style
far removed from the bright lights of the big coastal
resorts like Benidorm and Gran Alicante. It's a question
of personal preference.
