Situated in the Costa Blanca, the surrounding Altea –Albir – Benidorm area is renowned for its tourist attractions – Casa Futuro is wonderfully located near them all and yet still peaceful and quiet away from the busy tourist zones.
Groceries, bike rentals and a pharmacy are less the 500 meters away, Alfaz itself is 5 minutes away and 10 minutes from the house is Albir with one of many nearby blue flag beaches. The surrounding area is full of great restaurants of all types, wonderful shopping and lots of amusement parks and attractions. There are nearby community sports centres, trails to hike and bike paths to cycle, golf courses and a driving range. Bikes can be rented at the nearby bike shop.
