The museums<\/h2>\n
For such a small village, Guadalest has a remarkable number of museums, most of them private. A selection:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Museo de Microminiaturas<\/strong>: tiny works of art, viewed through magnifying glasses.<\/li>\n
- Museo Bel\u00e9n y Casitas de Mu\u00f1ecas<\/strong>: nativity scenes and dolls’ houses.<\/li>\n
- Museo de Saleros y Pimenteros<\/strong>: a large collection of salt and pepper sets.<\/li>\n
- Museo Etnol\u00f3gico<\/strong>: everyday life in the valley as it once was.<\/li>\n
- Museo de Veh\u00edculos Hist\u00f3ricos<\/strong>: old cars and motorcycles (closed on Saturdays).<\/li>\n
- Museo Hist\u00f3rico Medieval<\/strong> and a bicycle museum complete the line-up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Between the museums, the village itself is worth the walk: narrow streets, steps and small squares, with views from the edges over the turquoise reservoir far below. The footpaths down to the water are described on the page about the valley.<\/p>\n
Every museum has its own times and its own ticket. You do not have to see them all: with Casa Ordu\u00f1a and one or two others you already have a morning.<\/p>\n
Parking and arrival<\/h2>\n
You cannot drive into the old village. On the edge are several large car parks; parking there costs about 2 euros a day. From Calamora it is about three quarters of an hour to an hour by car, the last stretch over a winding mountain road.<\/p>\n
If you want to know the current opening times and prices in advance, contact the village tourist office.<\/p>\n

The best time to come<\/h2>\n
Guadalest drew about 700,000 visitors in 2024, which makes it one of the busiest villages in the interior. The crowds come between 10:00 and 16:00, in summer and around the public holidays in mid-August. So come before 10:00 or after 16:00, when the tour coaches are not there. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant: the temperature suits the steps and the lanes, and the light over the reservoir is clear. Wear shoes with a good grip, because many of the paths are of worn-smooth stone.<\/p>\n
Guadalest combines well with the Algar waterfalls<\/a> near Callosa d\u2019en Sarri\u00e0, which lie on the route from the coast. For more day trips in the region, see the attractions of the Costa Blanca<\/a>.<\/p>\n
