The sun took a break so we headed off to Guadalest. After a bit of a ropey drive up a very windy CV-70 we arrived ahead of the bus tours. The Tourist Office guy was super helpful. We wandered through the House of Orduna which was really a treat. We climbed the 200 steps to the top of the castle ruins. The views are amazing. Well worth the visit
4. Torre Medieval de Alcalali
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 9 reviews
Medieval tower, built at the end of the 15th century as a defensive bastion in case of pirate attack. Currently serves as a museum and a viewpoint from where you can see the entire Valley of Pop. Contact the town hall (opposite side of the street) for access. You can visit it on your own or request a guided tour from Monday to Friday in the morning; there is also an audio guide service that can be used on Saturday mornings.

This is something not to be missed! Entering the tower you are in a room that was the prison in olden times as the original entrance was on the floor above. Luckily there is a lift to the upper floors, each of whick displays museum items from the heritage of the town and there are interesting drawings and etchings on the walls. On the very top floor, some 80 metres above ground level you experience the most amazing 360 degree panoramic views of the town and surrounding areas. Surely a gem not to be missed. Get the guided tour from the town hall.
