Costa Blanca

The whole of the region, the coastline in particular, is serviced by a highly developed infrastructure of hotels, restaurants, road and rail systems, golf courses in Alicante, supermarkets and schools, and there are lively ex-pat communities in most of the towns here. There are some amazing beaches on the Costa Blanca, but further inland and you find a wide range of attractions, from ancient Roman monuments and remains, to beautiful natural parks and scenic mountain views. Javea and Denia offers many properties set into the hills and mountains with a lovely beach bay at the bottom. Despite the large number of British and other Europeans who live and holiday here, the region has still managed to retain a Spanish feel, especially in some of the smaller fishing villages and countryside towns. Most towns hold festivals throughout the year, and it's certainly worth timing your visit to coincide with one of these.

There are vast differences between the north Costa Blanca towns and villages such as Denia and Javea, compared to Benidorm, Alicante or Torrevieja. As for the property market, while prices are higher here than in some of the more undiscovered areas, most people are prepared to pay extra for the amenities and support that come from the tourist¬ orientated resorts and expat communities with the Orihuela Costa, Guardamar, Torrevieja, El Campello, Altea Moraira, Javea, Sant Joan, Calpe, Gandia, and for those who want to get away from it all, inland Costa Blanca also offers a slice of authentic Spanish life in places like Pinoso, Novelda, Guadalest, Elda, Benissa, Adsubia, Benitatchell, Jalon, Pego, Tuelada, Alicante.
