One of our favourite locations on the Costa Blanca, Altea is a beautiful town located between Benidorm and Calpe. It’s known for its charming old town set up on a hill, with its white-washed houses and narrow streets. The main square in the old town, Plaza de la Iglesia, is a must stop with the photo-worthy blue domed church Nuestra Señora del Consuelo.
The town also boasts of a beautiful beach and stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea, which can be seen from many of the view points around the old town.

Santa Barbara Castle
The Santa Barbara Castle is a historic landmark located in the city of Alicante and definitely one of the best Alicante Instagram spots! High up on a hill the castle boasts stunning views of the city, the Mediterranean Sea, and the surrounding mountains.
From the top of the castle you will be able to take some perfect photos out towards the port and sea. One of my favourite spots for a good photo is this arch, but you could be waiting for a while to get a shot without people in it!

Torrevieja Salt Lake
Another perfect Instagrammable location on the Costa Blanca is the pink Salt Lake in Torrevieja. You need a sunny day with a clear blue sky to get the best photos, otherwise the lake can look a bit dull.
You’re not allowed to bathe in the lake, so our best tip is to book onto a tour of the salt lake. This way you will get access to some of the best spots.
City of Arts & Sciences, Valencia
The whole of Valencia is an ideal location to take photos, from the historic old town, through the beautiful Parc del Túria, to the futuristic City of Arts & Sciences.
Surrounded by light blue artificial lakes, the buildings in the City of Arts & Sciences are definitely a great backdrop for your Instagram photos.

Fonts D’Algar
Last but by no means least on our list of Instagrammable locations on the Costa Blanca are the stunning waterfalls in Algar. Located approximately 30 minutes from Benidorm, these waterfalls are so picturesque that they were even the location for that famous Timotei shampoo advert.
We’d advise getting there as early as possible to avoid the crowds and get some good photos before it becomes too busy.
Parque Natural Font Roja
If you want to take photos of some beautiful natural views away from the coast, then head up to Parque Natural Font Roja in Alcoy. From here you will have stunning views across the countryside and mountains, scenery that looks very different from the Spain you see on the coast.
It’s free to park here and you can walk various different views to viewpoints ideal for taking photos for Instagram.
Overall, this is a beautiful region of Spain with plenty of Instagram spots on the Costa Blanca to explore, so enjoy getting out and about across the area and take some amazing photos!
