Why Swedes love Finestrat

  • The best of both worlds: You live in the mountains with peace and quiet, but are 10 minutes from the beach and Benidorm.
  • Shopping: La Marina Shopping Center (one of the coast's largest) is right below.
  • Nature: The Puig Campana mountain is iconic and offers fantastic hiking directly from the village.
  • Climate: The sheltered position behind the mountains gives cool nights in summer and shelter from the wind in winter.

🤔Who is it NOT suitable for?

  • Those who want everything within walking distance (unless you live in Cala Finestrat).
  • People without a driving licence (there are distances between the village, shopping and beach).
  • People with mobility issues in the Pueblo area (extremely steep).
