Hola Jessie,

Hope your move to Altea is smooth & hassle free.  Altea & the surrounding area is beautiful if you like the beach & mountains. I came here to study fine art at the local University Miguel Hernandez for four months & never left, that was 15 years ago! Now I have an art studio, holding small classes in drawing, painting, craft & sculpture. If you are creative & want to meet new people, contact me on your arrival. Check out my Instagram account for ideas! #7thheavenaltea

Hi Jessie,

Nice to e-meet you, and I hope this message will find you well.

My name is Pierre, and I'm French. We have just settled to Altea (from the UK), and out of any interest, it will be a pleasure to meet you in real life -- if you managed to make your way until here. We start getting connections with Spanish people over there, as we're looking as well to practice Spanish and becoming a real "local" and no longer just an expat' -- you're warmly welcome to join us.

Please let me know when you'd arrive,

Take care,

Hi Thanks for your message. I am hoping that I can make it to Spain. Currently my flight is booked on 14th November, however UK could be going into lockdown on the 5th Nov until 2nd Dec. I still want to travel on the 14th Nov, will this be possible. Are there restrictions in Spain ??

Jess

Pierre this is perfect too as I want to  learn spanish so would love to join you 

Hi Jessie,

The main limitations here are a curfew (11 PM to 6 AM) and the Provincia Border Restrictions (Comunidad Valenciana). I hope your flight will not leave you to travel during these hours. You can have more info here : https://www.bayradio.fm/2020/10/29/puig-announces-the-closure-of-valencian-community-borders/ - At the Alicante Airport, you will have to show the Spanish Form for COVID (https://spth.gob.es/) and they will check your temperature (therm cam, very quick).

I recommend you to travel with a copy of your rental contract (and possibly your NIE with you if you already got one) because you must be in position to prove a justified cause for travelling.

At the airport, you can go to Altea by taking the Alsa Bus to Benidorm (about 10 €, 1 every 2 hours), and then take the Tram heading to Denia at the Benidorm Intermodal (1,35 € - 2 mn walk from the Bus Stop / Station) with 4 stops in Altea that shouldn't be more than 5 mn away from your place.

Here is the link for Alsa : https://www.alsa.com/fr/

I wish you a safe travel !

Hi. I live in Villajoyosa and come to Altea once a week for a Spanish lesson.

Did you manage to move to Altea in November with all the Covid restrictions? If so, it would be lovely to meet up for a coffee.

Francesca.
