I think Altea is mainly residents and not holiday makers.  But stand to be corrected?

I have been told that Calpe is a year round town and suspect that Altea is similar, whereas Moraira is alot of holiday makers and thus pretty quiet out of season.  Sorry, but i only really know about Calpe as you probably gather

Hi,  visited a couple of times, just for the day.

I would say it is definately not overspill from Benidorm and is very different being very quiet and laid back imho.  Seem to remember the beaches being a bit stoney (hmm very stoney).   Lovely quiet restaaurants along the front.

Again, imho, i prefer Calpe up the road abit.  Beaches here are fantastic on both sides of the rock.  And has alot nore going on than Altea.  Quiet places, lively places, everything.  and the beaches are far superior to Benidom (not rocks under foot) and you can easily find a place on the beach to your self unlike Benidirm (which incidently i love and respect for what it is) where you have to fight for a spot on the beach during the summer. 

Hope my ramblings help.

Just buy a cheap UK vehicle and fit a towbar if necessary

Seems like the cheapest / easiest / legalist option.

Re statistics.  I saw a wonderful placade (on the news) at a Nurses strike in the UK about 20 or so years ago. 

The placade read: 'Whats 5% of nothing! We want 10%!'.
