The Costa Blanca...
Whilst all the unique differences that collectively go to make up Spain may not appeal to everyone, most people who visit develop a special fondness for the country, its people and the language. This is particularly true on the Costa Blanca! Officially the Costa Blanca is the most frequented Spanish Coast by the British with over 1.4 million visiting each year. This figure surpasses even the Costa del Sol.
It has mountains, rivers, plains, miles of endless gold and silver beaches, blue skies and a climate which is envied by large parts of Spain and most of the world. The weather on the Costa Blanca is better than on any other Spanish coast. With near perfect temperatures and humidity, blue skies, warm seas and a total lack of extremes make this coast the premier destination for increasing amounts of expatriates and holidaymakers.
When the relatively low cost of living (rising quickly) is also taken into account you begin to understand the magic that is the Costa Blanca. With the long established Costa del Sol now groaning under the volume of concrete, which spreads almost without interruption from Malaga to Gibraltar, it's not surprising that many who favoured that coast are now turning their attention to an area of Spain where even in the peak holiday season, it is still possible to find deserted bays and beaches within a short distance of where you live or may be staying, but beaches are not everything. Nevertheless the Costa Blanca has some of the very best, with the biggest stretching for as far as the eye can see.
With its unique climate, described as being among the best in the World,
this coast has something for everyone. As we approach the Costa Blanca from the North, we journey
through the La Safor district, one of the most fertile areas in Valencia. In spring, the smell
of the orange blossom never fails to create a lasting impression on those fortunate to experience it
and its endless attraction brings visitors back year after year. Continue to follow the coast more or less south
and you'll pass through places such as Cullera, Gandia, Oliva, Elche, Alicante
and eventually the areas within striking distance of Murcia with its
increasingly popular airport and ex patriot communities.
