Location

The Costa Blanca or White Coast extends along the eastern coast of Spain (approximately in the middle) and covers the province of Alicante. This area is not as cold or wet in the winter as the Costa Brava, north of Costa Blanca, nor is it as humid or hot in the summer as the Costa del Sol, in the south.

Weather

The Costa Blanca has the best all year round temperatures. The weather is recognised as one of the best in the world by the World Health Organisation. It has over 100 kms of sandy beaches and rocky coves and many of the beaches have the coveted European Blue Flag signifying cleanliness and safe bathing.

Accessibility

There are large amounts of flights into Alicante airport, especially from Northern Europe. Further to the south of the Costa Blanca is Murcia airport. With the advent of many low-cost airlines & with flying time being only approx 2 hours many people now visit this region of Spain for long weekends.

Attraction

The southern Costa Blanca is mostly flat with fine sandy beaches, palm trees and salt lakes. The south is much drier and more typical of what a person who had never visited Spain would expect to see. It has something for everyone from tiny rural inland villages to cosmopolitan tourist resorts on the coast such as Benidorm. Whilst it isn't necessarily a place one would go to see historical monuments (although there are many). It's attractions lie in it's beauty - the amazing vivid blue Mediterranean waters, the lovely sandy beaches, the old towns and villages with their old narrow streets, the restaurants and bars where one can sit and relax outside because of the wonderful all-year round climate. It's simply a wonderful place in which to enjoy life (as we should do but often don't) and feel rejuvenated and refreshed. Visit the Costa Blanca - you will love it.
