Come and Join the party atmosphere of sunny "Costa Blanca", the coastal area of the province of Alicante which spreads from the north of Denia to Roig Cape. Come and swim in a warm sea and try out some of the most popular watersports. A town like Benidorm doesn't need any introduction and the resorts around have no cause for being jealous... The harbours and coves of charming Calpe, the small town of Santa Pola and its feudal castle...so many places to discover! And if crowded beaches are not your kind of fun, then don't despair, the area has plenty of other secrets to reveal, from wonderful landscapes to exquisite gardens, wild mountains to an hinterland of Moorish remains...
Before leaving this enchanting corner of the world (provided you would ever want to leave...), don't miss Alicante, the provincial capital of this "White Coast", and Elche, well known for its extraordinary palmgroves.
Spain is a country of traditions and its proud people kept the memory of their ancestors alive : Corrida (bullfight) and Flamenco are two aspects of this. Influenced by the Orient and the Occident, the country boasts a rich cultural and artistic heritage.
Come and discover the barren land of the South, the snowy mountain tops of the North, idyllic beaches and unspoilt countryside.
One can only pretend to know the country after tasting its fine quality wines and good food drawing the best from the sea and land.
So get a move on, come to Spain, the kingdom of Sunshine and Celebration, it's always party time!
Set between the mouth of Ebro River (North) and Valencia (South), with a coastline running along the Mediterranean, "La Costa del Azahar" (or Coast of Oranges) is a haven benefiting from Nature's generosity : Rich and fragrant flora (Bougainvilleas, Oleanders, Rhododendrons...) adding colours to an uneven relief of dunes and rocks standing side by side in perfect harmony with a background of blue sea.
No need to be a great adventurer to access it, the Spanish motorway network runs to the doors of this coastal part of the country with vast spaces where to relax, large fine sandy beaches and renowned resorts like Peniscola or Alcoceber where you'll celebrate and dance the night away.
Come and make the most of sea linked activities, and discover the many Arabic and Roman vestiges spread around the area.
So much more could be said but you'll find yourself attracted to this part of Spain, so much so that you'll want to come again and again.
