Finestrat

Finestrat: where the sea meets the mountains

It’s rare to find a place as unique as Finestrat. In under 10 km, you can go from sea level to the summit of Puig Campana (1,410 m)—one of Alicante’s most iconic peaks.

🌿 Authentic Mediterranean scenery

Finestrat boasts an almost untouched landscape of pine-covered hills, almond, olive and carob trees, along with small orchards full of oranges, loquats and pomegranates.

Its origins as a Moorish alquería give it a distinctive village feel that has resisted major changes over time.
