About
El Castell de Guadalest is a historic hilltop town in the province of Alicante that boasts a blend of medieval fortifications, a country‑house museum, and an elegant 18th‑century Catholic church. Visitors can wander through the Casa Orduña—now a municipal museum—while exploring the ancient ruins of Castillo San José and the Baroque parish of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción. Overlooking the valley’s reservoir and the rugged Sierra Xortà, the site offers wide‑open vistas that are as photogenic as the volcano‑shaped rock on which the town is perched, making every stroll a memorable landscape experience.
