Cervezas Althaia, a name with meaning

Althaia, the ancient name for Altea, is of Greek origin and means I heal. This is the core of the philosophy: the beers are 100% natural, full of nutritional value and made only with ingredients of the highest quality. They embody the essence of the Mediterranean: sea, beach and sun. This is what Cervezas Althaia stands for.
