Altea paseo - New and wider paseo in Playa de Bol - hike along the coast
The eastern part of Altea's coastline has always been a beach with a promenade (paseo) within it. For decades, however, parts of the western coastline - Playa de Bol - have been taken over by a road and a parking lot. In 2023, work began on converting the parking lot into a beach. Now the city has 800 meters longer coastline. In addition, both the paseo and the beach have become wider. Playa de Bol has once again become a real beach. This post describes the entire Altea paseo
