This popular tourist attraction is located 15km inland of Benidorm. Here you will find a system of impressive waterfalls and natural pools in which you can bathe. Also known as 'Fonts de L'Algar in Valencian, the Waterfalls of Algar have been a popular tourist spot for many years.

 

The falls are actually located in the village of Callosa d'en Sarria which in itself is a tourist attraction.

 

On arrival at the falls you have the choice of several car parks. If you pull into the first car park (on your right), the fee is €2. You get a ticket that entitles you to a discount of 60c in the cafe across the road, making the parking just €1.40. The cafe has a sunny terrace and a varied menu. It's not too expensive either.

 
 
Algar gift shop

 

As you walk about 200m up the hill to the falls you will see several other bars and restaurants and a few small gift shops. Some of the restaurants have large swimming pools open in the summer and their own car parks.

Idealspain visits the Waterfalls of Algar

The Waterfalls of Algar make for a lovely day out. Idealspain visited in January 2011 (out of season). Whilst it was very quiet and too cold to swim, it was lovely to see.
