This beautiful stretch of Spain’s Mediterranean coast runs south from the fertile valley basin of Valencia down to La Manga, taking up parts of the Provinces of Valencia, Alicante & Murcia.

Of the many ‘Costa’s’, the Costa Blanca has probably the most agreeable all year round climate in mainland Spain; The Winters being particularly mild with mid-day temperatures in December & January, often around 18 / 22° c. The summers being hot of course, although often with a pleasant and gentle cooling breeze.

The landscape changes as one moves South from Valencia City towards Denia, Javea, Jalon, Orba, Moraira, Calpe and Altea with an abundance of orange and lemon groves around. One also finds stunning pine clad hillsides and vine covered valleys, olive groves, palm trees and of course almond tree orchards, the blossoming of which must be experienced January / February time.

Further down the coast South of Alicante, the countryside is much flatter, although still pleasant in it‘s own way, again being highly fertile, with many kinds of vegetables and exotic fruits grown there all year round.

150km of glorious white sandy beaches, rugged cliffs and rocky secluded coves, picturesque whitewashed villages set in lovely slightly inland valleys or clinging to the hillsides, a backdrop of magnificent mountains, plus a thousand years of history kept alive by the imposing silhouettes of castles & ancient ramparts found in many locations. All of this, coupled with the genuine warmth and friendliness of the Spanish people and the unique relaxing lifestyle to be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
