As a result, it has become increasingly popular in the last few years as foreign and domestic tourists alike have flooded the coastal city to experience Greece , but in Spain. However, despite its growing popularity, Altea has maintained its authentic Spanish charm, unlike many other cities in the country including Barcelona , Madrid and Malaga which some locals argue are becoming less Spanish due to the huge influx of tourists.
