Guadalest
Guadalest is an eagle's nest. "Set on a pinnacle, it rises above the rocks and its houses creep upwards and spread outwards amongst these mighty crags. It stands out unique from other towns in Spain;it is like no other that I have so far visited, and seen from afar, framed by the setting sun, it speaks with pride of the power it used to hold".
P. Estrela. "Guadalest". Alicante 1963
Guadalest is surrounded by the Aitana, Serella and Xorta mountains and has been declared a 'Monument of Historical and Artistic Value'.
There are two seperate parts to Guadalest. the first being the fortress itself; a huge area high on the mountain where the population lived within the walls and the only access being through the gate of St José. The second being the Moors houses that extend outward from the gate. There are now plenty of little streets and squares here which give Guadalest a very unique appeal.
Just below the town is the dam of Guadalest which was built between 1953 and 1964. It measures 73 feet high and 270 meters long and supplies water to a number of towns
