Finestrat

Finestrat belongs to the most beautiful villages in the Costa Blanca area. It’s nested between its Mediterranean beach of Cala Finestrat and its nearby mountain Puig Campana.

The village itself offers beautiful views towards the sea and the surrounding mountains. Furthermore, its hanging houses, the colourfully painted facades and narrow roads still reflect the Moorish influence on the village’s architecture.
