Places of Interest

The Costa Blanca is one of the most visited areas on the Mediterranean. Entering this haven of sun, light, sea, mountains and rural countryside is to visit many different worlds, all on the doorstep.

Nearby there are a number of picturesque coastal towns such as calpe, stunning marinas (Moriara) and traditional villages (see Altea).

There are also the recognised tourist destinations such as Alicante, Benidorm, Denia, Teulada, Xabia or Calpe.

On the other hand, between the Laguar, Gallinera and Pop valleys, the charm of the mountains can be found. These are inland retreats with steep mountainsides given that, although it is difficult to believe, Alicante is one of the most mountainous provinces in the country.

When we talk about the Costa Blanca, we immediately picture beaches and mountains, indeed, all along the coast one can find beaches and mountains to satisfy even the most demanding visitor, but this area is full of history, fiestas, traditions, Mediterranean villages that retain their typical characteristics, orchards of fruit trees and one of the highest-quality cuisines in the world.

If you visit any of the towns and villages, you will discover places where the warm climate, light, hospitality and cheerful disposition of the inhabitants stand out.

The Costa Blanca is defined by the warmest, most inviting beaches, spectacular mountains and a culture where the history, art and cuisine will amaze you.
