Grown fabric
The old town is narrow, steep and old. That is exactly where the buildings stand that can become something.
Location
Altea.
A white old town on a hill, the blue-domed church above the roofs, the Sierra Bernia behind, the sea in front. Altea was an artists' town long before the coast was built up — and has kept that.

The town
Why here.
There are places on this coast with more beds. None of them has what Altea has.
Alive all year
Altea does not only live in August. That is the difference between a home and a seasonal address.

The reason the painters came here — and the reason we build large windows.
