Costa Blanca Introduction

The Costa Blanca, on the east coast of Spain, is one of the most beautiful regions of the entire Iberian Peninsula and simply offers all things to all people.

Its name, meaning white coast, can be seen in the kilometres of stunning sandy beaches that await your arrival and which stretch from the very north at the funky town of Denia to the popular and thriving tourist hotspots such as Torrevieja in the south.

It is a paradise for golfers and gourmets, sun worshippers and serious party lovers, families and fun-loving 18-30s.

Big, brash beachside resorts with skyscraper hotels and all-night clubs mix with delightful mountain villages where a slower pace of life seems hardly to have changed years. It's all yours for the taking.

The Costa Blanca is simply a Mediterranean paradise, blessed with an excellent climate and golden sands stretching as far as the eye can see.

There are some outstanding holidays here for families, for young singles and for couples to enjoy.

Famous for its nightlife, Benidorm is the place where everything happens after dark. Bars, discos, British pubs, nightclubs and the amazing Benidorm Palace are all worth a visit. For entertainment, this resort packs a punch and you are guaranteed to let your hair down and relax with Sangria, tapas and beach life for the perfect holiday.

And that's just for starters.

If you prefer somewhere quieter or to walk along lovely palm-lined promenades, visit the villages, traditional restaurants and tapas bars inland.

For families there is fun to be had for the kids at the various water theme parks which offer terrifying roller coasters which really make your holiday go with a splash!

Aqualandia - the biggest in Europe, the Vergel Safari Park, Mundomar and the Theme Park Tierra Mitica are popular day excursions.

The beaches offer excellent watersports including windsurfing, canoeing, snorkelling, diving and jet skiing.

Golf is also a prominent attraction with more and more courses popping up each season.

The clear blue waters and stunning underwater scenery make it a diver's paradise.

There are an abundance of well-known resorts such as Javéa, Dénia and Calpe waiting to happily accommodate travelers and tourists. These beautiful unspoilt landscapes provide a special alternative to the usual bigger resorts and are an essential part of your holiday paradise.

Why not hop in a hire car and travel further along the coast away from your resorts and take in the rural and rustic traditional Spanish towns and villages.

Mediterranean flora scrub and coastal pine, romantic lighthouses and ancient ruins all blend to show the heart and soul of the Mediterranean.

The Costa Blanca is one of the most stunning and unspoilt areas in Europe.

Drive for just 10 minutes inland and you will be surrounded by more beautiful vistas. These small rural villages dotted around the sierras, hillsides and mountains are linked by excellent roads.

The Costa Blanca has two distinct halves. The north is green and mountainous, with sierras which rise suddenly from the coast and terraced hillsides cultivating groves of almonds, oranges and olives. Walk, hike or mountain bike around the hilly terrain or choose from an abundance of parks to explore.

South of Alicante the terrain is flatter and becomes more arid as you head towards Murcia. Visit the towering palm trees which dominate villages and towns here and try out the produce from the agricultural land in restaurants serving local specialities.

Denia, in the north, is a lovely town dominated by an impressive castle. A bustling commercial centre and port mixes comfortably with a thriving tourist industry. Its neighbour Javea which hides just behind the massive Montgo mountain, is regarded as one of the jewels in the crown of the Costa Blanca. It attracts visitors from all over the world along with wealthy Madrileños who buy second homes here to escape the summer heat of the Spanish capital.

Try out the fishing port of Moraira with its modern yacht marina and hillside developments of whitewashed holiday villas.

A must see is Calpe. This is perfect blend of modern beach resort and old quarter where traditional Spain meets 21st century demands.

The Gibraltar-style Peñon de Ifach rock dominates any photo opportunity here and can be seen for miles around.

Explore the steep, winding, medieval cobbled streets which lead up to the blue-domed church and plaza at Altea. The village boasts one of most stunning views in the region.

The city of Alicante is the regions capital centre with shopping, sunshine and sightseeing a plenty. At the south of the Costa try Torrevieja, favoured by international tourists (largely British), many of whom buy permanent or holiday homes here.

The whole region bursts and buzzes with the energy and vibrancy of the Med.

With average temperatures of between 18 and 22 degrees it is easy to see why this was named one of the healthiest places to live in the world by the World Health Organisation.

You'll certainly leave enriched with history, stories, a real glimpse of Spain and above all sun-drenched and you'll almost certainly return.

Costa Blanca Location

The golden white sands of which this famous Mediterranean paradise define the Costa Blanca which stretches for almost 200 kilometres between the regions of Valencia and the Costa Dorada in the north and Murcia and the Costa Almeria to the south.

It's a mecca for tourists in search of a perfect place to sun worship and it fails to disappoint. It is located on the Eastern coast of Spain which faces the party islands of the Balearics.

It falls within the province and Alicante and from the town of Denia, Javea and Ganida in the north, to Torrevieja in the south, holidaymakers can find pretty villages bursting with rural traditional charm, excellent shopping and historical ruins, and of course, a multitude of beautiful beaches.

In between lie Bendiorm and Alicante, the two major centres of the Costa Blanca.

Benidorm was once a sleepy fishing village but today this busy resort offers all things to all people and all age groups.

The resort boasts three first class (blue flag) beaches, entertainment for all, countless bars, restaurants and discos and the Terra Mitica theme park on the edge of town which is one of Spain's most visited tourist attractions. All of this within easy reach of Alicante airport and linked by excellent roads and local transport.

Head out to the villages or inland to explore the real Spain popular with walkers, cyclists and nature lovers in general or those looking to escape to paradise.

It certainly promises a scorching sun rise each morning and a sensational sunset each night, every day of your holiday.

Weather in the Costa Blanca

Lots of sunshine and little rain is the perfect description of the Costa Blanca weather in this region making it a great year round destination.

High summer (May -September) sees average temperatures of approximately 30ºC but these can reach 40ºC between 1pm and 3pm.

Holidaymakers can benefit from around six hours of sunshine a day in winter with temperatures much milder than those inland. Expect around twelve hours of sun per day in the summer months with some humidity. July and August see the highest temperatures although the climate is tempered by sea breezes. September and October see the most rainfall. After sunset, nights can get more chilly between November and March with February generally being the coldest month.

Winter (November to February) daytime temperatures will not fall below 10ºC and are often pleasant enough temperatures to sunbathe.

Rainfall is low and usually falls during the winter months.

The region has been quoted by the World Health Organisation as being one of the healthiest climates in the world with more than 300 days of sunshine per year.

Costa Blanca Beaches

Where else would you go to gaze out at the azure Mediterranean Ocean than to the sun drenched soft golden sands of the famous white coast of Spain - the Costa Blanca?

So named for its white stretch of beach and coastline, the Costa Blanca has a rich and sumptuous array of beaches for everyone's tastes.

In summer 2007, 499 beaches in Spain were awarded Blue Flags and it isn't hard to see why.

Benidorm is perhaps the most central and most popular shoreline with its crescent of Playa de Levante taking centre stage. Fringed with a promenade crammed with places to eat and drink or even partake in a little retail therapy, this is an ideal location.

Awarded Blue Flag status, as the majority of this coastline's beaches have, you can be sure there is no safer place to sun worship.

For those who love to splash there is even entertainment provided out to sea with swinging bridges, diving board, rafts and slides for children…and the adults to indulge in water play too!

For the real get-away-from-it-all paradise beach then head to Playa de Poniente, or Sunset Beach, a peaceful curved sandy retreat at the other side of this busy town.

This relaxed stretch of coast is best known for its superb sunset views as the sunshine sinks on another hard day topping up the tan.

The longest and cleanest of the two main beaches, Poniente is mainly occupied by the local residents of Benidorm and as such is less over crowed and easier to use. It gently slopes down to meet the Med and is shallow and safe for young children. Sink your toes into the warm sands slightly further a-field from the main resorts and find yourself blissfully captivated by your surroundings.

The sun-kissed sands of Albir and Altea are an easy drive from Benidorm central or why not combine a trip to Alicante and pause a while at the coastal villages in between which have untouched and uncrowded pure white sands and rocky coves, exclusively yours for the day.

San Juan beach is a must - miles and miles of sandy shores are spread out for the taking here. San Juan is one of the largest beaches and has been awarded the Blue Flag for several years running. There are restaurants, cafes, tourist centres and facilities on the beach itself with parking nearby.

Or join sun-worshippers on beaches further north and south of the Costa Blanca which are just waiting for your sun-lounger.

Saladares-Urbanova Beach is also quite long and has lifeguard services during the summer. El Cabo de las Huertas has nudist bathing areas and excellent rocky coves. The Real Club Náutico and Alicante-Costa Blanca Nautical Club also offer equipment and mooring for boat rides.

If the idea of staying on the shore leaves you a little unsure, then take advantage of a host of water sports such as diving amongst some fantastic sub aquatic depths, snorkeling, scuba-diving or boating and jet-skiing which are guaranteed to quicken even the most chilled out of heartbeats!

Shopping in the Costa Blanca

For shop-a-holics who love both beach and bagging a bargain, the Costa Blanca will be a little piece of heaven!

There is everything here from locally produced delicacies to make your mouth water when you tempt friends back home with your tapas making skills to sensational shoes, pottery, artifacts from local markets, department stores, boutique stores and gorgeous art galleries.

Just outside Benidorm you can while away the hours in the aisles of one of the area's largest hypermarkets. At Carrefour you can buy everything but the kitchen sink…in fact you can probably get one of those too. You will be blown away by the size!

La Marina at Finestrat is a typical mall-style shopping centre with some boutique style shops and other interesting options.

Levante is a laid back and funky area selling glamorous high fashion in designer boutiques which set the tone of the neighbourhood. Head here for that essential summer holiday party night outfit.

But if it's serious shopping you crave then head for either Alicante or Valencia. Both are teaming with shops to suit every budget - designer boutiques jostle for space with souvenir shops with something for everyone.

In Alicante head for Plaza Mar 2, a two-story shopping centre which opened recently and which sells most of the high street brands found in the UK such as Zara, H&M and Spanish brand, Mango.

Panoramis is a small shopping centre near the harbour with superb shops and restaurants - a great place to catch a quick bite and a breather before heading to the next shopping location.

The famous Spanish department store, El Corte Ingles, is on Avenida de Maisonnave in the central shopping district. It is a shop which can be found across Spain in most major cities but is a must - if only to peruse the beautiful merchandise on offer here. Mostly clothing and electronics are on sale but there are also home items, gourmet food and standard grocery items.

Traditional Spanish markets dominate the activity of many town centre squares along the Costa Blanca, indeed across the whole of Spain. There are plenty of bargains to be had.

An open-air market near Benidorm is the place to be on a Wednesday. Nearby Altea has a diverse outside market crammed with all sorts. In fact if markets are your ideal way to shop then visit any number of the small fishing villages along the coast and you will certainly come across a market or two selling the daily catch and locally produced craft items. There you will find stalls dedicated to intricately woven lace, fresh produce, fish, olives, chorizo, flowers and more.

But before you begin your shopping adventure check out the opening hours in towns you plan to visit. In some areas of Spain shop opening hours vary so it's wise to check! You wouldn't want to waste valuable sunbathing time after a hard days shop!

Most department stores will stay open for most of the day, usually from Monday to Saturday from 10am to 9pm.

It's a well known country for its siesta - Spain tends to switch off from around 1.30in the afternoon until 4.30pm for a short nap and to avoid the searing heat of the early afternoon. Shops then stay open until 10pm or 10.30pm, although these opening hours are more flexible in smaller towns.

The country is well known for its production of textiles, leather goods, shoes (of course you knew that ladies) and all kinds of crafted goods.

If you can tear yourself away from the delightful warm sands and sea and head into town for some serious shopping then the Costa Blanca won't disappoint!

Eating Out in the Costa Blanca

The Spanish take their eating very seriously and in the Costa Blanca that is no exception. The array of dining options available to the visitor, from breakfast right through to a midnight snack is vast and for those who prefer home from home cooking, then the choice of international culinary cuisine is limitless.

However, for a real taste of Spain your mouth and tummy will be in seventh heaven as you take advantage of simply excellent cooking, sample traditional tapas, indulge in fine wines, delight in delicacies such as cured meats, try the tender fruit and vegetables grown under the hot Spanish sun and enjoy exquisite dishes created in the authentic style.

Rich in flavours, tastes and styles, this is an area of gastronomic greatness just waiting for you to try it!

The Spanish love to eat - as you stroll through both lively and quieter resorts along the Costa Blanca you will see a myriad of eating destinations which are frequented by a mix of visiting Spaniards, tourists and of course locals.

In resorts and well populated towns the competition is fierce so food is well priced and of excellent quality.

The Costa Blanca is perhaps famed for favouring the Brit abroad and if it's the perfect party headache cure of bacon, eggs, beans and so on that you crave, there are options a plenty. They are well presented, cheap and cooked to perfection and also available all day if you need a lie in!

But if your appetite is smaller fist thing in the morning then try the Spanish option of a slice of toast and jam or cheese a pastry or churros and a Cafe con leche (espresso coffee with steamed milk).

One popular breakfast combination is chocolate con churros; thick hot chocolate served with a deep-fried tubular doughnut. Divine and perfect for post clubbing comfort!

Café (coffee) is an essential part of Spanish cafe culture, especially for breakfast. The Spanish love their coffee and serve it in a variety of ways. Café solo (espresso), café con leche (espresso with milk added), café cortado (espresso with a drop of milk), café manchado (a lot of milk with a little of coffee), decaff coffee and café con hielo (coffee with a glass with ice) are some of the variety of ways that you can enjoy a cup of coffee in Spain.

The searing heat of the midday sun draws most but the mad dogs and Englishmen inside for a few hours to escape the heat and it is at this time that traditionally the longest and most important meal of the day for Spanish people is taken.

Stay close to the resorts if you want to eat well at this time of the day as the smaller village eateries along the coast will tend to close.

For a quick bite in between morning sunbathing and afternoon sunbathing sessions a great option is to choose a restaurant serving a menu del dia - meal of the day.

It's a three course meal, but it is not a 'meat and two veg' affair like it is for the 'anglosajones'. Instead, your meal is split into 'primer plato' (first dish) of vegetables and 'segundo plato' (second dish) of meat/fish. The menu will be split into two and you choose one from each section (it is sometimes possible to get two 'primer platos' instead of one of each).

A menu will usually come with these two dishes, bread (pan), a drink (bebida) and a dessert (postre), though occasionally this is not the case - check on the menu.

The other option is to indulge your senses in a feast of smaller dishes to graze on until dinner (served later in Spain) guaranteed to leave you feeling like you have sampled a tiny taste of this country's fabulous food. So why not try out the Spanish custom of bar hopping (or Ir de tapas)?

Tapas are usually given for free to accompany a drink before lunch or dinner. They may be cold, such as mixed olives and cheese, or warm, such as puntillitas, Andalusian battered, fried baby squid. Tapas bars are lively and noisy and full of people having a few light bites to eat in the evening.

There are several types of tapas; they can be served warm or cold and, in a restaurant, you'll find at least eight different kinds of Tapas.

Habas con Jamón (Broad beans with ham), mini Paella, Patatas a lo Pobre (Fried potatoes with green peppers) or Patatas Bravas (fried potatoes with garlic and spices) are just some delicious dishes to feast upon. Try Chorizo soaked in red wine or chicken in a spicy peanut sauce. Uncomplicated and tantalising, these mini dishes urge you to try more!

Some tapas are very spicy and they are strongly flavored with garlic, chilies, cumin and saffron - absolutely delicious to try!

A racion is approximately the equivalent to four to six tapas, while a 'media racion' is equivalent to a little over two tapas. Para picar means to pick at (and is probably equivalent to a ración).

Wine is a must to accompany any meal when on holiday and why not take advantage of some of the delicious varieties here. One of the best known Spanish tipples to try is the fortified wine Sherry.

In fact Spain produces about 11 varieties that range from the generous dry wines, through to the sparkling wines, the rose and the valuable gran reservas. There is a wine for every occasion and every type of meal.

Dining in the Costa Blanca allows you to take your fill throughout the day. You can enjoy a fabulous meal in a choice of restaurants with international flavour. There are excellent Indian, Chinese, American, Italian restaurants here along with the more typical Spanish cuisine.

Spain is a country where eating out is a way of life and the quality of restaurant food is simply excellent.

Be amazed by the imagination and quality of quite simple-looking city or village restaurants or indulged with tasty home cooking on the shores of the Mediterranean.

Some good friends, a bottle of Rioja and a selection of Tapas in one of the great bars puts the finishing touch to any trip from Moraira to Denia along the best patch of coastline in the Costa Blanca.

There are traditional tavernas, tapas a plenty and locally produced dishes plus of course delicious wines, beers and sangria from the region to sample.

There is something for everyone here - bars and clubs are always a handy hop away from your accommodation in the main resorts and hotel complexes or for a taste of the real Spanish nightlife, head into the cities to discover a wealth of entertainment through till the wee small hours.

The most popular destination for all-night clubs and drinking spots is Benidorm with popular bars, nightclubs such as Space and KM Disco and cabaret at Casino Mediterraneo. There are more discos, cabarets, clubs and pubs packed into one area here than in any other resort in Spain so if it's late night drinking, dancing and revellery you seek, get your dancing shoes on, show off your tan and throw some shapes in Benidorm - you'll have a ball!

Alicante is a destination of choice for casinos. Slot, table games and live entertainment can all be found here in amidst the bars of the gorgeous historic quarter.

The Trensnochador departs from Alicante's FGV station on Playa del Postiguet. It takes you back to Playa San Juan, Benidorm and Altea.

For a more relaxed affair why not visit the cobbled pathway's of Altea's old quarter where classy and relaxed bars in the shadow of the town's famous blue-and-white domed church provide the perfect place to enjoy a chilled bottle of wine or a delectable dish of tapas.

With a bevy of bars, a cocktail of clubs and all night partying on the beach till the sun comes up - the Costa Blanca is just the perfect night out!
