Alicante train station transfer connects to the main tourist town of Altea
Altea is without doubt one of the most charming towns to be found on Spain’s Costa Blanca. The name Altea derives from the Moors who conquered the region and named it Althaya, meaning health to all.
The town is just 11 kilometres north of Benidorm. Altea is similar to other Costa Blanca towns in that it has a new and an old neighbourhood. The old section is perched on top of a hill from where you will find really spectacular views.
Once you arrive in Altea on your Alicante train station transfer you will find that Altea town is a holiday haven for the more discerning tourist who will be captivated by its medieval cobbled streets, its picture book old quarter and the delights of its palm-fringed seafront promenade.
The ascent to the old section along steep slopes and stepped streets reveals a broad horizon at every turn and extends along the entire La Marina region. The silhouette of the Peñon de Ifach on one side and the Helade range on the other, frame the view of the sea, with the ever present gulls sweeping low over the town.
For your Alicante train station transfer once you leave the train, proceed to the arrivals hall and immediately on your left you will see a restaurant called CAFESTORE. Our guide / driver will be waiting for you outside this establishment with a Beniconnect sign, where you will be directed to where your uniformed driver and vehicle are waiting to transfer you to your chosen destination in Altea.

I booked on line after reading several recommendations on TripAdvisor. I booked a mini bus transfer for 10 people.The booking was process was quick and easy. I got confirmation immediately with a reminder just before we travelled. The check in desk is right in front of you when come come into arrivals. I confirmed my name and destination, our driver was there. I agreed our pick up time for the return journey. Then our driver took us down 2 escalators and the vehicle was there. Within a couple of minutes we were on our way. The vehicle looked brand new and we had plenty of space. The air conditioning worked perfectly. It took 45 minutes from Alicante to Benidorm and we were dropped right outside our apartments. I received an email to confirm our pick up arrangements and the mini bus arrived bang on time and the return journey was just as smooth. The whole experience couldn't have been better and we paid £18 return per person which we were very pleased with.
