Igor Astarloa

Cycling is a Spanish passion, and Igor Astarloa is currently the world road cycling champion.
Isla de Benidorm

The natural beauty of this curious, triangular island in the middle of Benidorm Bay is best appreciated underwater, for the Isla de Benidorm is a marine reserve and home to a fabulous array of sea life, from sea anemones to octopus, stingray and scorpion fish.
Isla Tabarca

Tabarca, the only inhabited island on the Costa Blanca, has beautiful pebbly coves, a sandy bay, and a charming old town complete with a winsome little church right on the water’s edge.
Isla Tabarca

The secluded coves at the western end of this pretty island (see Isla Tabarca) are perfect for picnics. If you need to work up an appetite, you can always go swimming or snorkelling first.
Jardin de Santos, Penáguila

These immaculate 19th-century gardens in pine woods on the edge of the dreamy mountain village of Penáguila are the idyllic setting for a popular barbecue area with picnic tables.
Jellyfish

Jellyfish can be a nuisance. If you get stung, larger beaches will have a medical post.
Juan Carlos Ferrero

One of the world’s top-ranking tennis stars, Ferrero has performed consistently well in Grand Slam events.
Juan Carlos Navarro

Basketball is incredibly popular in Spain, and this young player from FC Barcelona is one of the best around.
La Granadella, Cap de la Nau (Cabo de la Nao)

The only way in and out of this tiny, pebbly cove is a narrow road which twists and turns down to the perfect curve of the bay. The blue-green water is overlooked by cliffs, and the small rocky beach is backed by just a couple of café-bars.
Les Aigües Blanques, Oliva

Oliva is blessed with long, sandy beaches that extend for miles so that you can always find a quiet spot if you are prepared to walk. This beach is the largest and best equipped, with every imaginable amenity.
