The Algar Waterfalls (or Fuentes del Algar) are a natural stamp in the interior of Callosa d’en Sarrià, a small town 16 kilometers from Benidorm. It is a set of waterfalls connected by small water channels or rivers where we can bathe, one of the best places to enjoy the Costa Blanca.
These natural pools located in the province of Alicante are a recommended visit if you are in our camping in Benidorm near the beach. In fact, in the summer months this area is more than inhabited. This visit is well worth it.
It must be taken into account that the water, coming from the mountain, is quite cold and not everyone dares to swim.

In summary, we could define this beautiful place as a place to spend the day with family or friends, as it is quite enjoyable in company, there are plenty of restaurants nearby to eat and the day is quite pleasant. Although I warn you in advance that if you are cold, you will suffer a little in the first contact with water.
And if you are visiting the Costa Blanca for more days, we recommend you to include some of these wonderful towns in your plans.
