The Costa Blanca is the coastline that stretches 170 miles along Spain's east coast centred on Alicante and running from Valencia in the north to the start of the Costa Calida in the south. It is famous for the resort of Benidorm which has a reputation for being a unique family resort. The countryside at the north end of the Costa Blanca is attractively mountainous and rocky. All the resorts have plenty to offer for tourists and have a wide selection of accommodation both near the beach and rising up the hillside.

The area is well serviced by Alicante airport. Alicante is a holiday resort in itself and offers a wonderful city with great shopping. Just south of the airport lies the resort of Torrevieja with it's sandy beach and lively market, several golf courses and wonderful accommodation.

The Costa Blanca is one of those resorts where everyone can find their place in the sun, from cosmopolitan towns where life goes on 24 hours a day to sleepy little villages where the peace and tranquility is unique.
