Palau de Altea is the town's main performing-arts venue, hosting concerts, theatre, dance, and cultural events. For visitors, its value depends heavily on the programme, but it helps explain Altea as more than a pretty old town above the coast.
Check listings before making a special trip. If something is on, the venue can turn an evening in Altea into a cultural stop rather than just dinner and a viewpoint; if not, it remains a useful landmark in the town's arts scene.
