Question
Is there Uber in Altea?
Answer
Altea is a small town, unfortunately with no Uber/Lyft services. There are cabs, but those can take quite a while. For these reasons, we would recommend renting a car to get around. Altea is centrally located between the cities of Alicante and Valencia making it a great basecamp for day trips.
Question
How do I get to Altea?
Answer
If you're traveling from far away, you're going to want to fly into Madrid. From there you can either take a connecting 1 hour flight or hop on the 3 hour train to Alicante (if you're a small party and packed light, we would recommend the train option). Trains to Alicante depart from both Atocha and Chamartin stations. We recommend taking a taxi from the airport (cost: 30 euros, cash or cards accepted) but you can also take a train directly from the airport to the station. Follow this link for instructions on the train: https://youtu.be/sYVvXSSJzz0 Trains tickets to Alicante can be purchased online with Renfe: https://www.renfe.com/es/es/experiencias/rutas/madrid-alicante Once in Alicante, you're a 45 min car ride from Altea. For this we would recommend renting a car. Or you can always find a taxi out of either the airport or train station to get you to Altea. There are several car rental agencies available near both the airport and train station in Alicante. If you're traveling from closer by, you can probably fly directly into Alicante or Valencia. Valencia is a little farther of a drive from Altea (about 75 min) but is close enough if this is your best airport option.
