Hotel Alahuar

A small country hotel in Alicante province

---

The Hotel Alahuar sits 600m above sea-level just outside the village of Benimaurell where it looks down on the whole valley below. Surrounded by magnificent mountain scenery, this is a "shangri-la" location that offers the visitor comfortable and homely accommodation as a base for enjoying the splendid terrain all around. For those with a taste for history, it's interesting to know that the head of the valley here was the last bastion of the remaining descendants of the Moors in Spain when they were expelled in 1609. Legend has it that rather than be captured by the Spanish forces, the "Moriscos" threw themselves off the precipice of the Cavall Vert.

On the ground floor of the main hotel are reception, bar/cafeteria, restaurant, bodega, lounge and terraces with impressive views over the valley and to the sea. On the first floor above, there are eight twin-bedded rooms each with an attractive ceiling of small arches and own style of bathroom.

Just across the way are 12 junior suites laid out in duplex style with an open stairway to the sitting area and balcony giving stunning views up into the mountains, down the valley and out to the sea beyond. Each suite boasts its own identity and personalised style of bathroom. Both rooms and suites offer satellite TV, air-conditioning, mini-bar and direct-dial telephone.

The privileged position of the Hotel Alahuar affords the possibility of numerous outdoor activities and adventure sports in the great outdoors. From excursions on mountain-bike, traversing gorges or simple walks on marked pathways to visiting caves with pre-historic paintings. The reception of the hotel has a list of recommended walks of varying length and difficulty that start right at the door. The permanently benign climate permits year-long activity.

Restaurant:

The restaurant is a large, light and airy room serving a delightful menu of traditional wholesome dishes from the valley and the region as a whole. A la Carte and Table d'Hote are available, and of course an excellent selection of wines. It has become popular with locals at weekends.

A Word From the Owner:

"In 1609 the Vall de Laguar was the last stronghold of the Moors in their fight against the Christian reconquest. Today Alahuar provides a unique balcony for the visual conquest of the whole area and peace reigns supreme."

What We Say:

This is an astonishing base for walkers and cyclists. My abiding memory is of a walk on the mountain above Benimaurell and the wonderful scent of almonds (and normally I have a terrible sense of smell!). On the other hand, we met a family who were just spending a peaceful fortnight taking the sun and lounging by the pool. The choice is yours.
