Costa Blanca

The region of Alicante is located on the eastern coast of Spain situated between Murcia in the south, and Valencia in the north. The city of Alicante is on the coastline between Benidorm and Elche. Alicante city has a population of over 300,000 and offers a unique environment as there is a prominent & exciting history as well as a cosmopolitan and modern feel to it.

Alicante has a first rate tourist centre due to the wide range of superb beaches, excellent climate and well known facilities. Not just to be known as a tourist centre and “great place” to shop, Alicante has a fantastic history and there is a lot for historians to enjoy – including the oldest “in use” bullring in Spain – built originally in 1849.

The famed Costa Blanca (the white coast) was christened 2500 years ago by Greek traders who founded the colony of Akra Leuka (white headland) near today's Alicante. Amid the rocky landscapes are fertile valleys and lush groves of oranges, almonds, lemons and olives with vineyards producing the sweet muscatel grape.
It is now one of the most popular destinations for UK resident's to purchase a property due to the warm and consistent climate, and healthier atmosphere.

The more famous resort towns of Alicante, Torrevieja and Benidorm are living proof that everything you do on a holiday can become an outdoor pursuit. Life revolves around the glorious beaches, and you could easily spend all your time here working on your tan, cooling off from time to time in the glistening waters of the Mediterranean, and enjoying the unique experience of the Costa Blanca's fabulous open-air cafés, bars and restaurants.

These towns also have an unparalleled atmosphere for water sports. Water-skiing and windsurfing are ever-popular, and there's jet-skiing, scuba-diving and much else besides for the more adventurous. Back on land there's a host of tennis, squash and golfing facilities, plus a stylish social scene that loves to get around on roller-blades and cycles. The evenings are no less an outdoor affair, with the coast's bars and clubs making the most of the balmy summer nights.
