Description
Finestrat is a unique municipality on the Costa Blanca North, which stretches from the picturesque historical village in the mountains to the modern coastal strip of Cala de Finestrat.
The history of the place is closely linked to the imposing Puig Campana mountain, with the old center preserving an authentic Moorish atmosphere with its hanging houses and narrow streets. The climate is exceptionally pleasant thanks to its sheltered location behind the mountains, which ensures mild winters and sunny summers with a refreshing sea breeze.
The main attractions are the spectacular hiking trails on the Puig Campana and the proximity to the major theme parks, while the coastal strip offers an intimate bay with crystal clear water. The local gastronomy combines traditional mountain dishes such as "Arròs amb fesols i naps" with the refined international cuisine found in the luxury resorts and trendy restaurants along the coast. For golf enthusiasts, Finestrat is a prime location with the exclusive Villaitana courses nearby, which were designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus.
The residents form a fascinating mix of local Spaniards who cherish traditions and an international community attracted to the luxury villas and modern apartments. The surroundings offer a breathtaking contrast between the rugged mountain peaks and the glittering skyline of nearby Benidorm, which creates a unique and varied landscape. Living in Finestrat offers many advantages, including a high quality of life in a quiet natural setting, while all urban amenities and commercial centers remain within easy reach.
