Description

Polop is a hilltop mountain village just 10 km from Benidorm, with a steep old quarter, castle ruins with panoramic views and the iconic Font dels Xorros: a monumental fountain with 221 water spouts — one for every municipality in Alicante province. The castle ruins offer views of Puig Campana, the Aitana range and the Mediterranean.

The village retains an authentic inland character that contrasts with the nearby tourist coast. It is a popular day trip from Benidorm and Altea, easily combined with a visit to Guadalest.
