Palau Altea (Altea Palace)

Palau Altea (Altea Palace)

Palau Altea is a modern cultural and conference center located in the picturesque white town of Altea on the Costa Blanca coast in the province of Alicante, Spain. Address: Carrer d'Alcoi, 18, 03590 Altea, Alicante. It is not a palace in the classical sense, but a multifunctional complex serving as the "heart of cultural life" in the Marina Baixa region. Opened relatively recently (around 2022), it has quickly become a popular venue for concerts, operas, exhibitions, conferences, and other events. The hall accommodates about 1,000 people and is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities.

What happens here?

• Cultural Events: Regular concerts of classical and jazz music, operas, ballets, and theatrical performances are held. Tickets are affordable, and the program is diverse — ranging from local artists to international tours. For example, on November 10, 2025, Giuseppe Verdi's opera "La Traviata" will be performed by Opera 2001 with orchestra and choir.
• Conferences and Exhibitions: The center caters to business tourism — ideal for meetings, seminars, and exhibitions. It is one of the key venues in the Valencian Community for such events.
• Additional Amenities: In the center’s garden, there is a summer terrace called Palau a la Fresca — a cozy spot featuring live music, an Argentine grill, and cocktails. Open during warm months, it's a great option for a relaxed evening outdoors.

How to get there?

• Public Transport: Close to the TRAM Alicante stop (Line 9, station "Altea" — 5-minute walk). ALSA buses from Alicante, Benidorm, or Valencia stop within a 10-minute walk (Av. Benidorm or Av. Valencia).

Reviews and Atmosphere

It’s a perfect complement to walks through Altea’s Old Town with its white streets, churches, and sea views.
