Culture and nature in harmony
White is omnipresent on the Costa Blanca. The white beach, the whitewashed houses, and the bright zest for life. But not only those seeking relaxation will enjoy the dream beach and the fascinating cliffs. You can cycle along the coast, climb and hike in the neighboring mountains, or try paragliding. Fans of art and culture will love Alicante. Here, museums and galleries line up, and you can visit the impressive Santa Bárbara Castle. In addition, the palm garden and the marine park are very popular. The city's landmark is the Torre de Miguelete. From this tower, you get a fabulous view of the city and the Costa Blanca. But the small fishing villages along the coast, where you can usually eat deliciously and discover untouched beaches, are also worth seeing. Some of the beaches are also suitable for friends of four-legged companions. Find out about the offers for a holiday with a dog on the Costa Blanca. Popular and traditional festivals are the St. John's Fire in Alicante or the celebrations of Christians and Moors in Villajoyosa and Alcoy. For excursions, the charming and lively Valencia or Elche with the El Palmeral garden, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are recommended.
Idyllic bays and endless sand
Enjoy the endless sandy beaches and the fantastic location of a holiday home or apartment on the Costa Blanca with the whole family. The coast is so popular with families because the beach sections are shallow, the water is calm and clear, the cliffs are impressive, and the bays are unmistakably idyllic. The capital of the Costa Blanca, Benidorm, is considered a top destination for holidaymakers. You can also find magnificent beaches and an idyllic natural environment in Benitachell, Calpe, Dénia, or Jávea. Popular amusement parks for the whole family can be found along the coast, such as Mundo Mar, Terra Natura, or Terra Mítica.
Paella from the pan
During a holiday with a private holiday home or apartment, you have the opportunity to explore the various culinary specialties on the Costa Blanca for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. One of the most famous dishes is Paella Valenciana. Many locals swear by their mother's or grandmother's recipes. In many restaurants, you can get the authentic local paella according to original recipes. Typically, a paella includes chicken, rabbit, green beans, lima beans, rice, tomato, or sometimes duck, snails, or artichokes. It is typical for the region that paella is eaten with a wooden spoon or directly from the pan. Rice has a long tradition in the area, having been introduced by the Moors in the 8th century. The local grain is short and particularly white. The region has the protected rice designations Bomba, Bahía, and Sénia. The village of Jalon is known for almond products, raisins, wines, and Embutidos (air-dried sausage).
The White Coast
The Costa Blanca (White Coast) refers to the beautiful coastline in the province of Alicante in Spain. The area stretches from Dénia in the north to Pilar de la Horadada in the south. For a beach holiday on the Costa Blanca with a holiday home or apartment, you can arrive via the airports of Alicante or Valencia. Due to good road connections, it is also possible to travel by car or rental car. Train connections exist, for example, to Alicante, Altea, and Calp.
