Guadalest can be found on the CV-755, only 20 kms from Benidorm
and 35kms from Alcoy.
From Madrid/Alicante:
The route is very straightforward. Follow the A-3 to Alicante,
where you join the A-7 Autopista following the signs to
Benidorm and Valencia. There are two Benidorm exits from
the motorway (signposted Terra Mitica and Benidorm Levante).
Take either of the two exits, and once you have passed the
toll booth follow the signs for the CV-70 , Callosa de Ensarriá/
La Nucia/Polop. You do not have to enter Benidorm at all,
and are now heading towards the mountains away from the
sea. The CV-70 has recently been renovated, and is dual
carriageway as far as La Nucia. There are a lot of roundabouts
on this road, but you carry straight on over all of them,
until you reach the outskirts of La Nucia (approx 8 kms
from the toll booth). On the roundabout before you reach
La Nucia, you will see a signpost which directs you left
to Guadalest. You will then join the mountain road(newly
opened) for the 12km climb to Guadalest. Just before you
arrive in Guadalest ther is another roundabout, which signposts
Benimantell to the right and Guadalest straight on. Carry
straight on and you will find the house approximately 500
mts further on, on the right hand side.
From Valencia:
Again the route is very straightforward. Follow the A-7
Autopista, following the signs to Alicante, and take the
Benidorm exit. We do not recommend that you take the Altea
exit, and then the CV-755, because the road is not very
good, with lots of sharp bends and curves. It is much more
straightforward to leave the autopista at the Benidorm exit
and then follow the directions given above.
From Alcoy:
We only recommend this route for people who are already
in the area, as the CV - 70 from Alcoy to Guadalest follows
the mountain route with its corresponding bends and curves,.
This road passes through the villages of Benilloba, Benasau,
Confrides (where you enter the valley of Guadalest), Benifato,
Beniarda and Benimantell before reaching Guadalest.
