ABOUT COSTA BLANCA

The Costa Blanca is one of the most beautiful Mediterranean Spanish Costas.

Located in the province of Alicante, Costa Blanca is well-connected a destination with 2 international airports, which are the Valencia and Alicante Airports, the latter located in the city of Elche.

In the Costa Blanca we find big tourist cities, with modern infrastructure skyscrapers, such as Benidorm, to small Mediterranean villages where time seems to have stopped as in the old town of Altea, the Valle de Guadalest, or the colorful houses of the old town in Villajoyosa.

With its comfortable climate, it’s not too hot in the summer (sometimes it can be), and mild during winters, which makes it one of the healthiest climates in the world according to the World Health Organization.

The area is known for its landscaped such as mountains, green vineyards, and orange, and almond trees, and it has over 300 days of sun, offering sunshine almost all year round.

The Costa Blanca is also one of the European areas with the most Blue Flags, all certified by the European community for its crystal clear water and excellent facilities.

This Mediterranean pearl is not only beach, sun & sea. You’ll also find extensive amenities like shopping centers, excellent restaurants for all tastes and budgets, beautiful golf courses and marinas, together with international schools and medical facilities.

The Costa Blanca is definitely the closest thing to what we call a paradise, and we look forward to having you here too.

Benefits of Living at the Costa Blanca

1. Sunshine at the Costa Blanca

With over 300 sunny days a year, the Costa Blanca receives a bountiful supply of golden rays of sunshine.

It is a well-known fact that climate and lifestyle affect health. People who live in warm, sunny climates are generally happier and much more relaxed than those who live in cold, wet climates.

An added benefit? If you move to Spain, you will never have to leave the country for your summer holiday!

2. Costa Blanca Natural beauty

Spain has some truly exceptional natural resources.

Here, you’re guaranteed to find a little bit of everything. Lakes, mountains, volcanoes, marshes, forests, valleys, cliffs, and, of course, beautiful beaches. The country’s wide diversity of landscapes never ceases to amaze us, or the estimated 40 million tourists who come to visit every year.

3. Pace of life at the Costa Blanca.

While the siesta is not as common as it once was, generally Spaniards have a more relaxed approach to life.

They work to live, not the other way round. We can say from experience that the pace of life is definitely more leisurely here, and the emphasis is on savoring time with friends and family.

Spaniards tend to live a little bit “later” than the rest of Europe, especially when it comes to meals. If you meet Spaniards, do not expect to have lunch before 2 pm or dinner before 9 pm. And be ready for a lunch break that can last up to two hours!

Since many of us are from outside of Spain, we can say that the pace of life here is a welcome change. With the great climate, friendly people, and fantastic food, we have little to complain about in our new home!

4. Costa Blanca’s Healthcare.

The World Health Organisation named the Spanish healthcare system as one of the top 10 in the world. And in our experience living here, its reputation is well-deserved.

Whether you go to a hospital or in one of the many walk-in clinics, the medical staff are well-trained, professional, friendly, and will attend to you in your language. Spanish facilities are state-of-the-art, well-equipped, and clean, and the Costa Blanca is no exception.

5. Food and drinks at the Costa Blanca.

Every day the international prestige of Spanish gastronomy continues to grow. We guarantee that you will enjoy healthy, imaginative, and, above all, highly varied cuisine when you come to Spain. In fact, the Mediterranean diet Spain is famous for was recognized by UNESCO for its cultural significance. They recognized, as we do, that the Mediterranean diet goes beyond just the food it consists of. It’s the culture that Spain promotes around this diet: social interaction, respect for the environment and biodiversity, and preservation of traditional activities connected to local agriculture and fishing.

6. Costa Blanca’s Culture and people.

Spain is incredibly diverse in history and culture. We like to say that we have several countries in one! We even have 3 national languages apart from Spanish (Catalan, Gallego, and Basque). As a result, the country has an outstanding multicultural heritage. And you can see it in all areas of Spanish social life, especially in the variety of fiestas or festivals around the country.

Famous extravaganzas like the bull-running in Pamplona (San Fermín), Sevilla’s Semana Santa and Feria de Abril, Valencia’s Las Fallas, or the Moors and Christians festival in towns in the Costa Blanca are all well worth a visit. But each village, town, and city has its own monthly schedule of saints’ days and feast days too. And because they have specific significance to the local community, they are likely to be more meaningful and entertaining for you as well.

Locals are always eager to share their culture and language with visitors. Don’t be surprised if you are invited to take part in the festivities!

7. The Costa Blanca Family life.

The notion of family has a deep-rooted importance in the Spanish way of life, and we’re sure you’ll feel right at home the moment you arrive.

In Spain, it’s not uncommon to walk into a restaurant or bar and see entire families sitting together, day or night. Whether you are in a major city or a rural village, Spanish social traditions provide special attention to children. This excellent treatment also extends to the rest of the family.

Come and discover a warm, welcoming country with the best infrastructure for families, where your little ones will be looked after like nowhere else.

8. Outdoor activities at the Costa Blanca.

There is no better place to be an outdoor enthusiast than in Spain. You can enjoy a variety of sporting and recreational activities. No matter where you travel on the peninsula or on the islands, there is a wide range of specialized packages, companies, and guides all around the country.

Here you can go sailing, cycling, hiking, improve your golf swing, or try paddling around at the beach. And in the winter, you can go skiing in the Sierra Nevadas in the south, or the Pyrenees in the north.

With the Spanish sunshine and the warm climate, you can indulge in your favorite outdoor sports all year round.

9. Costa Blanca Location.

Splendid beaches, delicious cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and lively fiestas all make Spain one of Europe’s best getaways. Because Spain encompasses several autonomous regions and islands, the country boasts one of the most widely diverse cultures and landscapes on the continent. 

The Costa Blanca in particular is very well communicated with central European countries and Great Britain. The airports of Valencia and Alicante are just an hour away and offer daily flights from and to a large number of different European cities. By car, Costa Blanca can easily be reached over the motorway AP7.

10. Safety & peace of mind at the Costa Blanca.

Spain’s high quality of life, healthy year-round climate, and easy access to nature are also complemented with modern services in different European languages, such as world-class medical assistance and various amenities. According to the OCDE statistics, Spain has one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Costa Blanca particularly is quite idyllic, and a very safe destination for tourists and business people alike. You will rarely find any serious crimes committed here.

Peñón de Ifach

Penyal d’Ifac Natural Park is a natural park situated in Calpe, in the Valencian Community, Spain. The Penyal d’Ifac is a massive limestone outcrop emerging from the sea and linked to the shore by rock debris. It is home to numerous rare plants, including a number of endemic species, and over 300 species of animals, and a nesting site for colonies of sea birds and other birds. Rising to 332 metres high, the rock is a striking visual feature of the Mediterranean coastline. Historically it was known to the Phoenicians as the Northern Rock, to distinguish it from its southern counterpart, the Rock of Gibraltar. Behind Penyal d’Ifac is a large lagoon cut off from the sea by strips of sandy beach and extending inland to the coastal mountains. The wetland area around the lagoon is all that remains of the formerly much more extensive wetlands of the Marina Alta. A protracted campaign to protect the site’s unique natural diversity led to the area being granted natural park status in January 1987. With an area of 45 hectares, it is the smallest natural park in Spain, possibly in Europe. The park ranges from sea level to an altitude of 332 metres at the summit of the rock.
