The image depicts the hillside city of Altea, Spain, under a clear, bright blue sky. The upper third of the frame shows a pristine sky with five small, white birds in various flight positions. Dominating the upper midground is the white Church of Our Lady of Consolation, identifiable by its square, light-colored bell tower with arched openings and a distinct blue-tiled dome. Surrounding the church and extending down the hillside are numerous white or light-colored buildings with red-tiled roofs, characteristic of Altea's old town. Some buildings on the far right exhibit scaffolding, indicating construction or renovation. Interspersed among these structures are scattered green trees and shrubs. The lower two-thirds of the image foreground and midground reveal older, weathered residential buildings. These structures display significant wear, with peeling white paint exposing underlying brick or stone, and dark, empty window openings. One building in the lower-left features a dark metal balcony railing. A prominent building on the mid-right has a large section of exposed, textured beige-colored stone masonry. In the lower-left foreground, a dense mass of green foliage with numerous cut, woody branches is visible. On the far right, a section of a brown palm tree trunk rises from the ground. No individuals are visible within the scene.
