Alcossebre: The best-kept secret of the Costa de Azahar

• Springs in the Sand: At Playa de Las Fuentes, fresh water flows naturally from the seabed and the sand. These natural springs come from the Sierra de Irta, making the water cooler and less salty. It’s like swimming in a natural freshwater jacuzzi.

• A Paradise Without Skyscrapers: Unlike Benidorm or Peñíscola, Alcossebre has preserved its low-rise charm. One of the few places where you can enjoy the Mediterranean without feeling surrounded by concrete.

• The Sierra de Irta: One of the last untouched natural parks on the Mediterranean coast. 15 km of unspoilt coastline with no buildings, dotted with hidden coves and dramatic cliffs where the mountains meet the sea.

• End-of-the-World Views: From the Ermita de Santa Lucía, perched 312 metres above sea level, you can spot the Columbretes Islands on clear days. Said to be one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in the entire Valencian Community.

• A Pirate Past: The name comes from the Arabic Al-Qusayba ("little castle"). Watchtowers like Badum once warned of Berber pirate attacks that haunted these shores centuries ago.

• A Volcanic Escape: From its harbour, you can join unforgettable trips to the Columbretes Islands, a volcanic archipelago now protected as a marine reserve, famously named by the Romans after the snakes they found there.
