Costa
Blanca Travel Information
From Valencia to Alicante, the Costa Blanca lingers on cream, smooth
beaches, with a honey brown climate, soothing fields buttered with
sunflower and gossamer green hills to provide an all year round haven
for sun worshipping and carefree relaxation.
Benidorm
Costa Blanca
Spain
Costa Blanca encompasses the best of many worlds. Sensational cusine and
balmy wines flavour Valencian pride, where meticulous attention to
detail results in spectacular achievements.
Landscapes climb to soaring mountainous ranges and rocky crags leap from
azure seas. Tides float with cork buoyed fishing nets slung over limpid
lagoons.
There are haunted castles, numerous nature reserves, lost, veiled
valleys ornamented with flamboyant flowers and between Alicante and
Altea, long stretches of powder soft sand and interrupted by steep
cliffs and cavernous coves, nestling next to cosmopolitan yaucht
harbours.
