Fonts de l’Algar Before the Coach Parks Fill

Fonts de l’Algar is a short inland drive from Altea and Benidorm. The water is the point. The coach parks are the problem if you arrive late.

1. Arrive at opening if you can

Morning is quieter and cooler. By late morning the path along the pools is stop-start. Early is the visit; midday is the queue.

2. Pay at the official entrance

• Use the signed car parks and the ticket gate
• Do not park on the approach road and walk in unpaid
• Bring cash or card — check the board at the gate

3. Stay on the walk, not the rocks

The marked route follows the water. Jumping from wet rock is how people get hurt. Swim only where signs allow.

Bottom line

Fonts de l’Algar is an early inland stop with an entrance fee. Go for the water path. Leave before the coach rush owns the car parks.
