Imagine this: golden sands as far away as the eye could see, gentle waves lapping your feet and a sunny day that seemed to appear just for you. Costa Blanca, in a few words. We’ll go deeper to see that there’s much more than meets your eye.
Costa Blanca is not just another attractive face in Spain’s coastline. The Costa Blanca is where adventure and relaxation meet. Start your morning in Alicante by sipping coffee and watching the locals get ready for work. The smell of freshly-baked pastries is intoxicating, and will tempt even the most disciplined eater.
Benidorm, a place where the skyscrapers meet the sandy shores. It’s as if Miami decided to go on a European holiday and never returned. You can’t help but feel transported to another world when you relax by the pool, or take a stroll on Levante Beach.
But wait! Do not let the big names steal your spotlight. Altea’s whitewashed architecture climbs the hillsides like a determined mountaineer. Narrow streets lead you through the town to hidden gems, such as art galleries and crafts shops that are brimming over with local talent.
Feeling hungry? Who doesn’t enjoy good food? Tapas in Spain are much more than snacks. They’re a whole experience. Imagine yourself at a bar on the beach with your friends, enjoying patatas bravas or calamari and debating which sunset is better (spoiler: all of them are stunning).
Calpe is a great place to watch sunsets. You can climb Penon de Ifach, if you feel adventurous. It is not for the weak-hearted, but it’s worth it! As you reach the summit of this massive rock formation, take in the turquoise waters below.
Let’s go shopping! Retail therapy is the best therapy. Denia is home to a bustling marketplace that sells everything from handcrafted jewelry to local produce. Haggling is expected, not just accepted! You can channel your inner bargainer and grab some great deals.
It’s impossible to visit Costa Blanca without enjoying the vibrant nightlife. You can enjoy dancing to live music under the starlit sky or watching talented musicians perform.
For those who enjoy quieter evenings. The moonlight walk on any of these beaches can soothe tired souls before bed calls for them to return home.
Although I would love to continue our conversation about this Spanish paradise, it seems my time (for now) has passed. But don’t forget, the magic won’t end. Each visit will reveal new surprises around every corner.
