Guide to Guadalest
I have been living in Spain for 20 years. I am a travel enthusiast and a lover of Spanish culture, so I decided to create a series of guides to the most interesting cities and towns in this beautiful country. On my website www.en.tajmon.com you will find many other guides that I have written or will write in the future. I also invite you to like my Facebook page: Spain Uncovered, where I will inform about news and trivia related to Spain.
In this guide, I want to show you one of my favorite towns in Spain, namely Guadalest. Guadalest is a small but charming village, located on top of a rocky hill, surrounded by mountains and a lake. It is one of the most beautiful and frequently visited towns in Spain, which impresses with its history, culture, and views. Guadalest has a lot to offer tourists, from a historic castle and church, to numerous museums and viewpoints. You can also admire the dam, which creates a reservoir, supplying water to the entire Marina Baixa area. Guadalest is the perfect place to spend a few hours or a whole day, especially if you want to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy peace and nature.
I hope this guide will be useful for you and inspire you to visit Guadalest. I invite you to discover this extraordinary town with me!
