Altea Castell de la Olla Fiesta Saturday 12th August

Every August Altea comes to life. During the San Lorenzo celebrations Altea holds the most spectacular firework display known as Castell de L´Olla. It  is such a spectacle of light, colour, gunpowder that really illuminates the sky.  

This firework display is quite special as the fireworks are loaded onto floating platforms in the sea which are then set off, creating a colourful show which is also reflected in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. 

Our evening combines this firework display with free time to enjoy an evening in Altea. Altea old town is full of charm and surprises. With its quirky boutiques, art galleries, evening craft market and award winning restaurants it gives you plenty to keep you happy throughout the evening. Altea sea front area is awash with lounge bars, restaurants, gift shops and plenty of vantage points with which to enjoy this firework extravaganza !!
