Costa Blanca

I think that this is the most famous coast in Spain; Costa Blanca entertains millions of tourists each year. Placed on the eastern coast, and knows as the "White Coast", is one of those areas where everyone can find their place under the sun, from sophisticated towns where life goes on 24/7, to quaint little villages where the peace and tranquillity is just so pure. Costa Blanca with its clear blue waters and miles of white sandy beaches are certainly a major attraction. Beautiful mountains run along the coast, parallel to the sea. Here you can sample and marvel at the Moorish villages where olive trees and hidden coves abound. To the south is where you will find the beaches bristling with palm trees, the sparkling, turquoise sea and rows of cafes and restaurants that cater for both the young and old, the experienced traveller and those that are keen to sample that authentic Spanish cuisine. Within the mountainous interior are a series of fascinating medieval towns and fortified villages which have been largely unaffected by modernism and tourism. Inland from the beaches, Costa Blanca has one of Spain's most fertile areas. The region is renowned for its citrus trees supplied all over the world. Almond trees and date palms abounding with blossoms are a photographer’s ideal opportunity!

Every part of Costa Blanca is indeed a treasure to discover, a place to relax and enjoy. You can relax with that book you never get round to reading, in the most glorious sun, hide away at some secret cove, or meet new friends and party. Whatever you fancy, Costa Blanca is sure to please.

Alicante is the capital and major city of Costa Blanca, but it is Benidorm that attracts the most visitors. Benidorm is an expansive holiday playground and tourist spot in every sense of the word. The place offers every amenity a tourist could want. With a safe, kindred atmosphere, safe waters and a host of activities to do, Benidorm is ideal for family vacations. It also has a lively nightlife, with hundreds of bars and clubs catering mainly for British tourists.

There is good quality, inexpensive bus services within the main resorts taking you to towns in close proximity. Taxi cabs are also good value, especially for those travelling as a group.
