Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Michael the Archangel in Altea

Highlight • Religious Site

In Altea, in the Mascarat district, Spain's first Russian Orthodox church has been built. Specialists were flown in from Siberia specifically for the construction, and they erected the Church of San Miguel Arcangel under the unusually mild temperatures. The building is a replica of 17th-century Russian Orthodox churches, and all the materials for this extraordinary structure came from the Ural Mountains.

A Russian billionaire is said to have built the church for his mother. A success! 👍

Russian Orthodox Church of San Miguel Arcangel Altea - Local name: Iglesia Ortodoxa de San Miguel Arcángel. The wooden church was opened in 2007. It is the only freestanding church in Spain under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church. The parish to which it belongs was founded on the initiative of the Bock family – Russian immigrants who came to Altea in 1996.

View of Peñón de Ifach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Fantastic view, great location! Cycling along Avenida de la Fustera, you'll enjoy a sweeping view of the Peñón de Ifach, the striking limestone cliff overlooking Calpe. Between the houses and pine trees on the quiet road, the view opens up to the coast, where the blue sea, the white silhouette of the town, and the over 300-meter-high cliff create an impressive panorama. The scenery combines the tranquility of the hinterland with the expansive views over the Costa Blanca, making the ride a truly special experience.

View of the hinterland of the Costa Blanca

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the Pedramala - Busset stretch, beautiful views of the Costa Blanca's hinterland repeatedly emerge. It seems like "wide open land" if you weren't aware that all the roads involve steep climbs.

Sant Pere Park - Altea

Highlight • Beach

A section worth seeing in Altea or at the Parque de Sant Pere, which runs parallel to the beach. Beautiful to look at! This route combines the modern coast of Albir with the charming, historic flair of Altea and offers a breathtaking backdrop with sea views and Mediterranean charm. There are numerous small beach bars and cafes along the route, ideal for a break with a view of the sea.

Altea Marina

Highlight • Structure

A truly beautiful sight: Altea's small harbor lies at the transition between the promenade and the coast, blending harmoniously into the seascape. Not all areas are fenced off – some zones are freely accessible and invite you to take a short stroll. From the town center or directly from the promenade, a flat, pleasant route leads to the Club Náutico Altea. The route runs predominantly along quiet streets or wide sections of the promenade and is ideal for both leisurely bike rides and short daily commutes. You'll be accompanied almost constantly by a view of the sea, and the harbor itself is hard to miss: it stands prominently at the southern end of the beach promenade.
