The Costa Blanca boasts the perfect climate and listed below are a number of delightful seaside villages which have become havens for villa holidays.

Alicante is the Valencia Region’s southernmost province and its Mediterranean coastline, stretching for nearly one hundred miles is known as the White Coast (the Costa Blanca).  Beautiful sandy beaches lie intermitantly between stretches of sheer limestone cliff and spectacular rugged coast. This is one of Spains tourist Meccas, due to it’s scenary, facilities, quality of it’s towns and the friendly locals.

The international airport at Alicante lies just to the south of our major resort of Javea and there is a wide choice of flights from many regional airports.

The Costa Blanca weather is exceptional, the region basks in an average temperature of  17.6 degrees C (63.7 degrees F).

This is an excellent area for scuba diving and the many rocky inlets are ideal for beginners and experienced divers alike. Sailing is also good here and as with diving there are plenty of schools and places to hire equipment. There are a surprising number of excellent, well marked footpaths which offer super walks especially in the spring and autumn.

Local delicacies include almond based marzipan and excellent cured ham. As well as Castilian Spanish the locals also employ Valencian (which closely resembles Catalan), although as the area is so cosmopolitan there is plenty of English spoken. In old times the area was occupied by Iberians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and later the moors who’s influence can still be found today.
