COSTA BLANCA. ALICANTE
Over 218 kilometres of coastline packed with soft sand beaches washed by calm waters, 2,800 hours of sunshine per year, a privileged climate and a warm sea have been the main attractions for our millions of visitors for decades.
Over time, the development of modern tourist infrastructure and communications routes has made it easier to reach the Costa Blanca. The landscape is not just defined by the sea, but also by the mountains that overlook it. Alicante is the second most mountainous province in Spain and it is here that we see the grandeur of the Mediterranean landscape. From valleys that are home to crops grown on terraces originally created by the Moors to a horizon packed with oaks, pines and carob trees perfumed by a wide variety of aromatic plants. Those who love mountains and hiking are sure to enjoy the well-signed paths that run through our inland districts. In the south, the mountains give way to palm groves and the smallholdings stretch as far as the eye can see.
Our region is also dotted with archaeological sites that give some idea of the rich history of an area that has been populated for thousands of years. Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans and Muslims have all left their mark and the remains give us a glimpse of how they lived. Whether on the coast or inland, you’ll be able to discover our rich local dishes and the quality wines from our vineyards.
If you want, you can visit tiny villages hidden among the mountains and modern coastal towns with a lively nightlife. History and monuments mark the landscape of our inland villages and towns. Along the coast there are numerous marinas and countless facilities to allow you to enjoy the sea and water sports.
Golf lovers know that our golf courses have facilities that are second to none.
We aim to ensure that all travellers find what they are looking for on the Costa Blanca and that’s what we strive towards each and every day.

Natural parques of the Comunitat Valenciana
In the Valencian Community there is a string of wetlands which used to extend almost uninterruptedly along the coast. In this the albufera lagoon was a typical natural formation, as it was fairly normal for former bays to be left cut off from the sea through the formation of barriers as a result of the large amounts of sand deposited (and still being deposited) by currents. Here the sand barrier (also known as sand bar) which led the bay to becoming a lagoon is still preserved today and is at present nine kilometres long. The Pego-Oliva marshland is thus a former lagoon which due to the advanced silting process forms a uniform extension of reedbeds with numerous pools of clean water. A network of former irrigation ditches and canals crosses the zone.
