A short weekend in the Mountain of Alicante – Benimantell & Guadalest Castle
The player loads from YouTube only when you press play.
After our week by the sea in Altea, we weren’t quite ready to head home, so we booked two more nights inland at Benimantell, a small mountain town in the Alicante backcountry, close to the more famous Guadalest and its castle. It’s a cooler, greener area than the coast, the kind of spot we’d somehow never explored despite years of living close by. A short weekend, but exactly the change of pace we needed after so long stuck in the city.
