Albir is a small beach resort sandwiched between Altea and Benidorm on the northern Costa Blanca in Spain.
Albir is very close to Alfaz del Pi which is just slightly inland on the other side of the N-322 which divides the two areas. Albir is also referred to as El Albir or L’Albir.
Albir is situated midway between two international airports, to the south there is Alicante International airport and to the north there is Valencia international airport.
