Destinations in Costa Blanca:
Holidays in Benidorm
Holidays in the Costa Blanca attract millions of tourists every year. Set on Spain's eastern coast, the Costa Blanca 'white coast' is one of most beautiful areas of the Iberian Peninsula and known for its endless swathes of white-sand beaches. The Costa Blanca begins in Denia and Javea in the north and stretches down to Guardamar and Torrevieja in the south. The north is mountainous, green and sprinkled with olive and orange trees, while the south is much drier and flatter. The Costa Blanca is popular with families, partygoers, couples and golfers.
Holidays in the Costa Blanca combine big, brash tourist resorts with traditional Spanish towns and villages. Benidorm is one of the most renowned tourist resorts in the Costa Blanca, with its three-mile sandy coastline, abundance of lively bars, throbbing nightclubs and theme parks. Set on the outskirts of Benidorm is Terra Mitica, Spain's biggest theme park, Aqualandia, a thrilling water park, and Mundomar, a marine park.
Holidays in the Costa Blanca fuse modern with medieval: even when surrounded by the bright lights of Benidorm, you're just seven miles from the medieval cobbled streets of Altea. Other cultural points of interest on the Costa Blanca include the old fishing port of Torevieja, the attractive old quarter of Calpe, and the mountain fortress at Guadalest, which dates back to 715 AD. Costa Blanca's range of activities include water sports, golfing, paragliding, sailing, fishing and numerous hiking and biking trails through olive and citrus groves, pine forests and pretty coastal scenery.
