So
you´re thinking about visiting the Costa Blanca?
Good
choice! We have delightful coastal towns in our part of
the Costa Blanca, The city of Alicante
is on the coastline between Benidorm and Elche. The fine
sands of San Juan beach in the north stretches 3 km to Cape
Huertas which separates it from the popular Albufereta beach.
In the south of the port lies Saladar beach, also the chic
resort of Moraira, with its trendy avenues of shops and
restaurants and its fine paseo maritimo, the paved walkway
by the sea. Then there is the stylish port and picturesque
old town of Jávea
(or Xábia in the Valenciano language), with its golden
sandy beach - the Playa del Arenal, popular with holidaymakers
because of its beauty, cleanliness and safety. Further along
the coast beyond the impressive and much loved Montgó
mountain lies Denia,
a bustling town with a large marina, extensive beaches and
tree lined avenues that are great for shopping or just simply
soaking up the atmosphere at one of the many street cafes
or restaurants.
Each one of these resorts
happily combine traditional Spanish culture, wonderful scenery
and all the essential amenities that make our tourists come
back year after year. Another reason to visit this region
- or to live here permanently - is that the area boast a
temperate climate that is considered by the World Health
Organisation as extremely beneficial to good health and
long life. For healthy living you need to visit our wonderful
markets which are filled with colourful displays of fresh
locally produced fruit and vegetables, an incredible variety
of fish and shellfish caught in local waters, and delicious
wines to satisfy the most discerning palate.
The heady aroma of orange
and almond blossom that drifts lazily across the valleys
in Spring brings with it the anticipation of yet another
fabulous summer. When a warm breeze lifts a scattering of
blossom into the air like confetti our thoughts immediately
turn to joy filled days of summer afternoons when we are
at last able to dip sun kissed toes into the clear blue
Mediterranean sea and watch as white sails drift in the
crystal clear sunlight for which the area is renowned. Away
from the coast the people that we meet in the quiet streets
and alleyways of the sleepy villages in the mountains welcome
the stranger with a friendly Hola, a welcome as warm as
the heat that has been stored in the ancient stone walls
for centuries
