Be one of the 50,000 people who descend on Castell de l’Olla in Altea to watch in awe a pyrotechnic display like no other. Held for over 35 years and now classified as a Festival of Regional Tourist Interest, this spectacular event should be squeezed into your diary if possible. Imagine: The setting of the fireworks display is a platform floating in the Mediterranean which is then set off, creating a multicoloured night canvas reflected across the sea. And it doesn’t end there! Music from a live orchestra is choreographed to the display adding to the sheer magnificence of it all.
