Scoot Spain Guide · Costa Blanca

Alicante to Altea on a 125cc scooter, white lanes and a blue dome

About 45 minutes north on the N-332: Villajoyosa’s colours, then Altea’s hilltop old town. Pickup and return only in central Alicante — no scooter delivery in Altea.

The photogenic white village — from Alicante, not from Altea

Altea is one of the Costa Blanca’s most photographed whitewashed villages, with the blue-domed church of Our Lady of Consolation above the sea. Scoot Spain is based in Alicante: you collect and return the scooter in the city centre (or hotel) — we do not deliver to Altea itself.

That is the point of this guide: a full day trip from Alicante for cruise passengers, hotel guests and anyone based in the city who wants village atmosphere rather than a resort skyline.

Combine Villajoyosa and Altea in one day if you leave early. Parking in the old town is limited in summer — park below and walk up.

Stop by stop

From the N-332 to the blue dome

Pickup and return only in central Alicante. No scooter delivery in Altea.

km 0 · Alicante

Start

Handover in central Alicante

Meet in Alicante centre or your hotel (included). Documents, helmets, disc lock and a short briefing — then you head north on the N-332 with the sea on your right.

Cruise port pickup in Alicante is included with no surcharge. Airport ALC is not served: taxi or bus to the centre first.

Tip — Leave early if you want Villajoyosa + Altea before sunset.

~35–40 min · La Vila

Stop 1 — optional

Villajoyosa: colour before white

The painted seafront houses make the perfect mid-route pause. Chocolate museum Valor, promenade coffee, then continue north toward Altea.

Delivery/pick-up in Villajoyosa is available for +€35 if you prefer not to start in Alicante — Altea itself stays pickup-free.

Tip — Do Villajoyosa first, Altea for late light.

N-332 / CV-715

Stop 2

Approach to Altea

Stay on the N-332 past Villajoyosa, then follow local signs (CV-715 / casco antiguo) toward the hilltop centre. The coastal stretch is mostly flat; the last climb into the old town is gentle but real.

Allow 40–45 minutes Alicante → village area without long stops; more if you linger in La Vila.

Tip — Check fuel before the climb — stations are easier on the coastal road.

Casco antiguo

Stop 3 — the icon

White lanes and the blue dome

Climb on foot to the church of Our Lady of Consolation — Altea’s postcard. Galleries, craft shops and terraces with Mediterranean views invite a long pause.

Ideal if you want village calm, not Benidorm bustle. Sunset from the upper terraces is worth the timing.

Tip — Park in marked lots at the village entrance and walk up — old-town scooter parking is scarce in summer.

Return

Back

Same road south before nightfall

Return on the N-332 toward Alicante. Keep daylight margin — especially after a Villajoyosa + Altea combo day.

Hand the scooter back at the agreed Alicante meeting point within opening hours (08:30–20:00).

Tip — Lights and vest on for the last stretch if the sun is low.

Practical

Before you ride to Altea

Do you deliver the scooter in Altea?+

No. Scoot Spain does not offer dedicated delivery or pickup in Altea. You collect and return in central Alicante (or hotel included). Cruise port Alicante is included; coastal towns such as Villajoyosa or Benidorm can be +€35; Alicante airport is not served.

How long from Alicante to Altea by 125cc scooter?+

Allow about 40–45 minutes of easy riding on the N-332 (roughly 55–60 km). Add time for Villajoyosa and photo stops — a full day is ideal for both towns.

Where should I park in Altea?+

Use marked car parks at the entrance to the village and walk up to the old town. Summer parking inside the casco antiguo is limited; always use the disc lock on longer stops.

What licence do I need?+

A valid licence for 125cc (A1/A2/A, or car licence B held for at least three years) and minimum age 21 (19 with a motorcycle licence). Original documents are required at handover.

Can I combine Villajoyosa and Altea in one day?+

Yes — leave Alicante early, visit Villajoyosa first, finish in Altea for late afternoon or sunset, and keep fuel and daylight for the return.
