Location

We only recommend this route for people who are already in the area, as the CV - 70 from Alcoy to Guadalest follows the mountain route with its corresponding bends and curves,. This road passes through the villages of Benilloba, Benasau, Confrides (where you enter the valley of Guadalest), Benifato, Beniarda and Benimantell before reaching Guadalest.

Again the route is very straightforward. Follow the AP-7 Autopista of the Mediterraneo (do not confuse with A7 motorway through inland), following the signs to Alicante, and take the Benidorm exit. We do not recommend that you take the Altea exit, and then the CV-755, because the road is not very good, with lots of sharp bends and curves. It is much more straightforward to leave the autopista at the Benidorm exit and then follow the directions given above.

There are two Benidorm exits from the motorway (signposted Terra Mitica and Benidorm Levante). Take either of the two exits, and once you have passed the toll booth follow the signs for the CV-70, Callosa de Ensarriá/ La Nucia/Polop. You do not have to enter Benidorm at all, and are now heading towards the mountains away from the sea. The CV-70 has recently been renovated, and is dual carriageway as far as La Nucia. There are a lot of roundabouts on this road, but you carry straight on over all of them, until you reach the outskirts of La Nucia (approx 8 kms from the toll booth). On the roundabout before you reach La Nucia, you will see a signpost which directs you left to Guadalest. You will then join the mountain road (newly opened) for the 12km climb to Guadalest. Just before you arrive in Guadalest there is another roundabout, which signposts Benimantell to the left and Guadalest straight on. Carry straight on and you will find the house approximately 500 mts further on, on the right hand side.

The route is very straightforward. Follow the A-3 to La Roda, in this city take the A-31 to Alicante, where you join the A-7 Autopista following the signs to Benidorm and Valencia.
