El Castell de Guadelest is a small hamlet tucked away in the mountains Northwest of Benidorm.

 

During the tourist season the place is loaded with visitors who come to catch a glimpse of the pittoresque settings and to dwell in the tourist shops that line the narrow streets.

 

Highlights are the castle which was build by the Moors in the 12th century, the white Bell Tower atop a steep rock and the turquoise artificial lake.

 

We visited on a sunny morning in April 2015. Around noon the place was already pretty crowded.

If you want to have some roaming space, come early! The views desserve it.
