Inland are Polop, Castell de Guadalest and Sella, up in the Marina Baixa mountains at the foot of the Sierra de Aitana. Between them you have an old town, an urban beach, a medieval castle and mountain trails, all within three quarters of an hour.<\/p>\n<h3>Which village is closest to El Albir?<\/h3><p>L&#8217;Alf\u00e0s del Pi and Altea, both about 3 km away. L&#8217;Alf\u00e0s is the municipality El Albir belongs to and takes 5\u20137 minutes by car. Altea is to the north, 8\u201310 minutes by car, and it&#8217;s the only one you can walk to along the promenade, in about 30\u201340 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Which villages can you reach from El Albir without a car?<\/h3><p>Altea, walking along the promenade. Benidorm, by TRAM (8\u201312 minutes) or bus (20\u201330 minutes). L&#8217;Alf\u00e0s del Pi, by local bus or bike. You can also get to Polop by bus, although it&#8217;s about 40 minutes with a change. For Guadalest, the most practical option without a car is an organised trip, and Sella is really only accessible by car.<\/p>\n<h3>Which villages can you see in half a day?<\/h3><p>Altea, L&#8217;Alf\u00e0s del Pi, Benidorm and Polop are 20 minutes or less away by car, so they easily fit into a morning or an afternoon. Guadalest and Sella are 35\u201345 minutes away by mountain road: you can do them in half a day, but you&#8217;ll enjoy them more if you give them a whole morning, especially if you want to walk the Water Route in Sella.<\/p>\n<h3>Which nearby villages are by the sea and which are in the mountains?<\/h3><p>On the coast are Altea and Benidorm: the first with its old town and coves, the second with the Levante and Poniente beaches. Inland are Polop, Guadalest and Sella, with castles, viewpoints, fountains and trails. L&#8217;Alf\u00e0s del Pi is halfway between: its centre is inland and quiet, but the municipality reaches the sea at El Albir.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From El Albir you can reach some of the most charming villages in the Marina Baixain just a few minutes.
