 Stretching from the Gulf of Valencia to Cabo de Palos, Costa Blanca is for
the most part, flat and sandy, and is sprinkled with many beaches and
holiday resorts from lively Benidorm to the more typical resorts of Denia,
Javea, Moraira and Calpe. Residents and holidaymakers can enjoy this region
year round because of its extremely mild climate. From Dénia to Pilar de la
Horadada, from Orihuela to the valleys of the Marina Alta, including Villena
and Alcoi, the Mediterranean breeze fills this land with light, enveloping
the entire region in its exceptionally attractive climate. With complete
tourist facilities, spectacular scenery and an extensive culinary palette,
with exciting popular festivities, and sports, cultural and entertainment
opportunities galore, the Costa Blanca is one of the most cosmopolitan sites
in Europe, where cultures from abroad fuse with local traditions in perfect
harmony.

Denia

Denia is a magical place full of life, tradition and vibrant colour,
especially during one of its many fiestas like "Las Fallas" or local
celebrations like "Bous a la Mar" (Bulls in the Sea). The town is situated
at the foot of the majestic Montgó mountain between Valencia and Alicante
and has officially been recognised as one of the worlds healthiest places.
Denia is a town which can offer something for everyone, it has spectacular
blue flag sandy beaches and rocky coves, five 18 hole golf courses, and more
fiestas per year than any other Spanish town.
Las Marinas situated just north of the town has sandy beaches stretching to
over 15km offers an ideal place for sunbathing and swimming. For water
sports lovers Denia offers a first class Yachting Club, fishing,
windsurfing, diving or sailing can be practised almost all year round with
beaches and coves of Las Rotas and the Cape of San Antonio, just south of
the town being a haven for scuba divers and snorkelers.
Denia’s ports have always played an important part in this town with the
fish market every day and regular departures to the Balearic Islands, and
the new Marina which accommodates over 1000 moorings for yachts of all
sizes, this town is always full of life. There are regular ferry trips from
Denia to the island of Ibiza which can often be seen on the horizon on clear
days (Trips take only 2 hours).
The town is dominated by the ‘Castello’, an old castle built by the troops
during the siege of the Muslim town and then refortified during the War of
Independence. It is now an archaeological museum which shows the towns
history from 200 BC to the 18 century. In the town you can find all the
modern facilities from supermarkets to banks, restaurants to dentists. But a
walk around the narrow streets of the fishing quarter will reveal its
history, culture and architecture of Iberian, Carthaginian, Roman, Arab and
Christian civilisations that have inhabited Denia over the years.
The restaurants of the area are of excellent quality, with the main focus
being rice dishes, such as the traditional paella and of course a great
variety of fresh seafood. Many of the small local inns, traditional bars and
restaurants offer the famous "tapas" and "A la Carte" menus.

good museum which explains the history of the coast from Palaeolithic times
through Iberian, Roman and Medieval times. (Museo Etnografico 'Soler Blasco'.

Moraira has grown from a small fishing village to an attractive holiday and
retirement resort whilst retaining its unique charm that attracts visitors
from all over Europe and is particularly popular with the Spanish who come
from Madrid and Valencia. It has a small and colourful Main Street, a large
marina, excellent variety of local shops, weekly open markets, harbour-side
fish restaurants and bars still all retaining their Spanish character.
The sturdy fortress that overlooks the beach of Moraira dates from the days
of Felipe II (16th Century). But today the importance of this fishing port
in the municipal district of Teulada, located 6km inland, is due to its
tourist infrastructure. Visitors from all over Europe have discovered the
magnificent environment this town offers for holidaymakers or even for
residents from abroad. Sandy beaches like El Portet, L'Ampolla and Plagetes,
and also the tiny rocky coves with clear blue water (L'Andragó, Punta
Estrella and La Cala) make Moraira the spot for fun, sun and sea sports. The
modern Moraira Yacht Club completes the round -up for seadogs. Sights:

Benitachell
A tranquil and pretty village, originally an Arab outpost, with a stunning
coastline formed by a succession of cliffs of more than a 100m high that
descend vertically into the sea. Situated on the road between the port of
Moraira and Javea as you drive northwards. This mainly agricultural village
boasts two coves and has a great traditional fishing heritage. It is some 15
minutes from Moraira and Javea, Benitachell offers a fantastic location.
Visitors staying around this part of the Costa Blanca can benefit greatly
from the attractions and activities close by. Golf fans are well catered for
as the local course is in the area, however a car is recommended so you can
explore the delights of Northern Costa Blanca.
Benitachell is the perfect base from which to enjoy this lovely part of the
Costa Blanca. Apart from Benitachell village and beach there are many places
to visit along the coast including Javea that has a fine beach, a fishing
harbour, restaurants and golf courses, Denia with some excellent shops on a

Calpe
click here for webcam
 Calpe is a friendly fishing village which sits close to the Rock of Ifach on
a hill rising up from the last spurs of the sierra Bernia in the middle of
Spain's Costa Blanca, a geographical marvel that provides access to the
northernmost towns of Alicante's Marina district. It is an authentic tourist
site, with a coastline boasting sandy beaches, cliff faces in some areas and
an ancient salt mine, which all give the town a peculiar flavour of its own.
Calpe is overlooked by the towering Penon de Ifach which juts out into the
sea and rises to over 1000 ft.
In contrast to the larger commercialised resorts, the village of Calpe with
its narrow winding streets, traditional Spanish architecture and street
markets generates an atmosphere of friendship and relaxation, a village
where after only a few days you seem to know and greet everyone.
Calpe is a place of daring contrasts, where modern buildings and wide
avenues harmonize with an ancient fishing village, where locals are proud of
their past, yet welcome tourists and visitors with warm - hearted
hospitality.
Calpe's fishing port comes alive with hustle and bustle as the afternoon
fish auction draws near. Restaurant terraces fill up with lively crowds
anxious to try some of the fresh local shellfish. The town centre preserves
the remains of a small fort from the 16th century, called the Torreon de la
Peca. There is also a Gothic-style parochial church worth visiting, with
Mudejar additions. From the chapels of Cometa and Salvador there is an
attractive view. Go to the Properties page for Calpe apartments and villas.

commands a fine view of a picturesque valley in the interior of Alicante
province on the Costa Blanca, with a river running through it, harnessed by
the Guadalest dam, built long ago. The area is surrounded by pine trees,

La Herradura
Although not nearly so well known as the neighbouring Costa del Sol to the
west, the Costa Tropical of Granada province is particularly picturesque
beachside, and easier to get away from the crowds.
The mountains run right down to the sea and the coastline is typically a
series of coves and promontories. La Herradura is pretty and unspoilt small
town located between the two attractive promontories of Punta de la Mona and
Cerro Gordo
Nearby in a protected cove east of Punta de la Mona is the impressive Marina
del Este yacht harbour. Water sports and scuba diving are popular here,
thanks to the variety of sea life and clarity of the water. This is a
privileged strip of coastline which boasts the very best conditions and
attractions necessary to provide an excellent holiday. Its situation on the
Mediterranean, its closeness to Africa and to the Sierra Nevada, with the
highest peaks on the Peninsula, protect the Costa Tropical from the cold
northerly winds, creating a subtropical micro-climate, with 320 days of
sunshine a year and an average temperature of around 20ºC, where all kinds
of tropical fruit is grown in its lush valleys. Cliffs, coves and long
beaches make up the landscape of this coveted coastline, conquered by
numerous civilisations. Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs have fought over it
and left behind traces of their cultures. The Costa Tropical has six tourist
centres - La Herradura, Almuñécar, Salobreña, Motril, Castell de Ferro and
La Rábita - boasting a good tourist network where countless sports can be
practiced: windsurfing, surfing, scuba diving, fishing, sailing,
waterskiing, golf, tennis, squash and horse-riding. The Sierra Nevada, at
more than 3,000 metres high and only a short distance from the coast, is a
paradise for alpine skiing and mountaineering. Go to the Properties page for
La Herradura apartments and villas. |
