A Benidorm travel expert has revealed the stunning location of a hidden "paradise" that is completely different to the Spanish hotspot's bustling strip. Hundreds of thousands of Brits descend on the Alicante region every year - so for those looking to experience all the area has to offer, but in quieter surroundings, look no further. TikTok user @BenidormHiddenGems recommends taking a 15-minute tram ride to discover its beauty - and a return trip there is as "cheap as chips".
A short clip showcases quaint streets in front of a stunning coastal backdrop. But unlike the strip, there's plenty of room to manoeuvre, even at night amongst the bars and restaurants. That place? Altea.
Captioning their video, @BenidormHiddenGems said: "Day trip to Altea! 15 mins on the tram from Benidorm station...
cheap as chips return ticket...
and this paradise awaits!" It appeared to be too good to be true for one TikTok user, who declared: "This must be CGI." He was put straight by a recent visitor, who replied: "No it's real..
. lovely place I was there a few weeks back." Several others were quick to praise the town, with one person responding: "Altea it’s beautiful, my favourite place.
" A second penned: "Been there done it, beautiful little gem." Closing with further advice, @BenidormHiddenGems said: "Go for sunset and enjoy a gorgeous dinner in the old town, it’s so precious at night!" "Altea is full of life and there are a thousand things you can do," according to VisitAltea.com .
