Fonts de l’Algar: A Natural Escape in Costa Blanca
Fonts de l’Algar is one of Costa Blanca’s most refreshing natural places. Located near Callosa d’en Sarrià, just a short drive from Altea, it is known for its clear waterfalls, natural pools, mountain surroundings and peaceful green landscape.
While many people come to Costa Blanca for the sea, Fonts de l’Algar shows another side of the region — fresh water, rocks, trees, walking paths and the feeling of being tucked away in nature.
It is a beautiful place for visitors who want to experience more than the coastline and discover the natural richness of inland Costa Blanca.

Waterfalls, natural pools and mountain views
The main attraction at Fonts de l’Algar is the water. Small waterfalls flow through the rocks, creating natural pools where visitors can cool down, swim or simply enjoy the sound of running water.
The area is surrounded by mountains and Mediterranean vegetation, making it feel calm and refreshing, especially during the warmer months. It is a place where nature feels close and easy to enjoy.
A visit here can be as simple as walking along the paths, stopping by the water, taking photos, swimming in the pools or sitting quietly and enjoying the atmosphere.

A different side of Costa Blanca
Fonts de l’Algar is a reminder that Costa Blanca is not only beaches and coastal towns. Inland, the landscape changes quickly into valleys, mountains, orchards and small villages.
The area around Fonts de l’Algar is rich in agriculture, especially citrus, nispero trees, olives and other Mediterranean crops. This mix of water, fertile land and mountain scenery gives the place a very different feeling from the coast.
For travellers who enjoy nature, local food and slower experiences, this is one of the places that makes Costa Blanca feel more complete.

Perfect for a slow day outdoors
Fonts de l’Algar is ideal for a relaxed day trip. It can be combined with a visit to nearby villages, lunch at a local restaurant, or a quiet drive through the countryside.
It is especially lovely for families, couples, retreat groups and anyone who wants a break from busy tourist areas. The sound of the water, the shade from the trees and the mountain air make it feel grounding and peaceful.
This is not a place to rush. It is a place to arrive slowly, breathe, cool down and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
Close to Altea and the surrounding villages
One of the best things about Fonts de l’Algar is its location. It sits close to Altea, Callosa d’en Sarrià, Guadalest and other beautiful inland areas, making it easy to include as part of a larger Costa Blanca experience.
You can spend the morning by the waterfalls, have lunch nearby, visit a village in the afternoon or continue into the mountains for more views and quiet corners.
