Costa Blanca -
Alicante Travel Information
From Valencia to Alicante, the Costa
Blanca lingers on cream, smooth beaches, with a honey brown climate,
soothing fields buttered with sunflower and gossamer green hills to
provide an all year round haven for sun worshipping and carefree
relaxation.
Benidorm
Costa Blanca
Spain
Costa Blanca encompasses the
best of many worlds. Sensational cusine and balmy wines flavour
Valencian pride, where meticulous attention to detail results in
spectacular achievements.
Landscapes climb to soaring mountainous
ranges and rocky crags leap from azure seas. Tides float with cork
buoyed fishing nets slung over limpid lagoons.
There are haunted
castles, numerous nature reserves, lost, veiled valleys ornamented with
flamboyant flowers and between Alicante and Altea, long stretches of
powder soft sand and interrupted by steep cliffs and cavernous coves,
nestling next to cosmopolitan yaucht harbours.
