Costa Blanca Information on the most famous coastline in Spain, the Costa Blanca, expert advice and tips about visiting and holidaying with places to go attractions to visit, all you want to know. Costa Blanca, Stretching from Denia to Pilar de la Horadada, the Costa Blanca is as diverse as they come. With a mix of traditional Spain, rural and agricultural areas, long established holiday resorts and residential zones, there is something here for everyone. Until recently the Costa Blanca was seen by many as an untouched coastline. Today it is a major travel destination for many European citizens, whether for holidays, travel or those moving there permanently. This has injected a cosmopolitan feel to the area, while retaining much of its traditional culture. The region varies enormously from the much greener north around Denia to the almost desert like south in the are of Torrevieja, not always a disadvantage for tourists as no rain equates into more sunny dry days in which to enjoy yourself, I mean who wants to lie on the beach in the rain, if you had wanted to do that you would be staying at home right! If you get bored with frying yourself by the pool, take a drive inland and visit quiet and cooler mountains, parks and sleepy towns that time seems to have forgotten, even a few old castles, rarely seeing another tourist. If you divide the area into north and south of Alicante, which in itself is a great place to visit, the most famous of the resorts is of course Benidorm (north of Alicante) which needs no further description on this page. Further north are the more picturesque towns of Denia, Moraira, Calpe and Javea which are not as well known internationally but are certainly pleasant places to visit or stay. As you drive south from Alicante you will pass small resorts like Gran Alicant then onto Santa Pola, a small town (with a nice harbour area) mainly visited by the Spanish, similarly Guardamar does not have to many foreign tourists. It is not till you get to the bustling newer town of Torrevieja that you find a real mix of Spanish and other European visitors, especially the British and Irish. Further south still you will pass through the newly created Orihuela Costa on your way to Pilar and the Costa Calida. Few tourists do it, but inland there are many nice towns to visit especialy in the uplands of the north, some still boasting ancient castles and old quarters as if time has stood still.
