Costa Blanca Cheap flights have been pouring European tourists into the Spain’s Costa Blanca for decades, yet despite the constant pounding of tourism, this coast retains much of its original charm, a testament to the magnificence of this sunny destination. Located on the southeastern coast, Alicante is the largest city positioned upon these seductive sands. If you can get beyond the bigger resort beaches and the even more atrocious embarrassment of Benidorm, you are bound to discover a series of gemlike resort town strewn along the coast that make the perfect staging ground for and overall an unforgettable destination.
Don’t, however, leave Alicante too quickly. Stay at least one night to see the sun burst into a wide array of incredible colors, and turn the numerous white yachts pink and orange, then purple and black as the town light up like a basket of pearls, and the thumping pulse of Alicante’s nightlife begins to stir your innermost desires. Yet despite this siren’s call, your vacation really shouldn’t be spent here the whole time. Break free and you won’t regret doing so as you discover the lesser-known yet infinitely better destinations along the Costa Blanca.
Begin your wider tour by checking out Alrea, whose intricate Mediterranean architecture of white walls and extensive tile work is testament to the ancient seafaring charm of Spain, which is juxtaposed artfully against the development of modern tourist facilities. Even more breathtaking and serene coastline can be found out at Peno d’lfac, with rocky outcropping spilling out into the turquoise water, the scene is inspirational, such coastlines typically a muse for the Spanish impressionists.
The Coveta Fuma is a superb example of the blinding white rock that, in part, is the origin of the name, Costa Blanca. Studded with stucco houses and green, coastal vegetation, the white earth shine brilliantly, and provides an almost surreal beauty to much of the Costa Blanca shoreline. |
