Guadalest, or to give one of Spain’s landmark locations its birthday name, El Castell de Guadalest, sits high up in the Guadalest Valley, an area so spectacularly beautiful that it compares favourably to some of Europe’s most cinematic regions such as the rolling hills of Tuscany and Portugal’s Douro Valley.
It is true that Guadalest receives busloads of tourists from all parts of Spain, however, this is largely confined to times during the peak summer season and Easter. Outside of that, you will encounter the most visually appealing of any Spanish village, understated in many ways but most definitely memorable.
