Costa Blanca

Sun, sea and sand are excellent reasons to visit the Costa Blanca, but its attractions don’t stop there. Inland, you can explore magnificent Natural Parks, wild sierras and remote hill villages, or visit historic towns with fascinating museums and a wealth of fabulous architecture. The engaging capital cities of Alicante (Alacant) and Murcia are crammed with great shops and tapas bars, and a string of lively resorts along the coast offers splendid beaches, fantastic nightlife and plenty of opportunities for fun. Best of all, there’s always a secret cove or rugged cape to be discovered if the crowds get too much.

  • Abdet

    Ideal base for walking, cycling or climbing. With spectacular views of the Guadalest Valley and the peaks of the Sierra Aitana and Serella.

  • Modern, clean, family apartments, lovely communal pool, highly recommended.

  • Excellent restaurant in Los Alcazares, situated on the front promenade. Extensive menu and will accommodate children (smaller portions of the menu). Pricey, but well worth a visit.
