Algorfa is a traditional Spanish village mainly untouched by tourism and so still maintains the traditional quaintness of a small Spanish village. With so many Spanish locations having succumbed to the tourist effect, it is a breath of fresh air to still be able to find a village that is Spanish, with all the wonderful character that Spain has to offer.
Algorfa is a short 35 minute journey from either Alicante or Murcia airports and both airports are catered for by all major airlines, including the budget airlines. Algorfa is a typical Spanish village and is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is enhanced by the dramatic backdrop of the Sierra de Crevillente Mountains. Algorfa can also boast 300+ days of sunshine, making it an ideal honeymoon location, no matter what time of the year your wedding is.
As Algorfa is not an area saturated with tourism, for those on a budget, it is a very inexpensive honeymoon location with apartments starting from as little as £170 per week.

So why Algorfa? What is there to see and do?
Imagine awaking to the wonderful aroma of the Lemon and Orange groves wafting in through your balcony doors, on the gentle breeze. After a leisurely breakfast on the balcony, you decide on a relaxing day on the beach. You take a trip down to the nearby spectacular Blue Flag beach, Guardamar del Segura, and spend the day enjoying the miles of clean golden sands, seafront promenades and peace and tranquillity; while the warm sea gentle laps at the sand.
If however today, you would rather try something a little bit more active, why not take a leisurely tour around the nearby beautiful historic city of Orihuela. Spend the day shopping in the many elegant shops and enjoying the historic gothic, baroque and renaissance buildings. Then stop for a spot of light lunch, in one of the many traditional tavernas, before setting off again on your leisurely sightseeing.
Of course, if you are feeling really energetic there is always the beautiful La Pedrera Nature Reserve, located between Algorfa and Orihuela, to explore. Here you can enjoy mountain biking, hiking, climbing and even swimming and horseback riding. If you want, you could just enjoy a romantic picnic in the secluded picnic areas.
Maybe today you fancy taking to the water? Then take a short drive to the Mar Menor (small sea), famously known as the largest salt lake in Europe. With a maximum depth of only 8m and temperatures higher than average, the area is renowned for its water sports and has many scuba schools and international standard sailing schools.

With the Costa Blanca averaging 300 days of sunshine, few days are lost to rain.
