Situated in the province of Alicante, the Costa Blanca is a breathtakingly beautiful two hundred kilometer stretch of coastline that has attracted holidaymakers from all over Europe since the nineteen fifties. The literal translation for Costa Blanca for those of you what haven’t guessed is “white coast” and that is exactly what Costa Blanca means. Tourists from the UK have been visiting the region, which extends from Torrevieja on the southern coast to the town of Denia in the north, a little further down the coast from Valencia for more than half a century. Amongst the many small towns and villages dotted along the Costa Blanca coast line are Benidorm and Alicante, two of the major tourist resorts in all of Spain.

Tourists from the UK, Germany and the Scandinavian countries regard the Costa Blanca as the spot for an ideal family holiday. There is much to do and see for adults and grown ups alike. Apart from spending a few hours every day, on the fabulous white sands and the cool waters of the Mediterranean, there is entertainment to cater for every taste and every culture. Costa Blancans have learned to match themselves to the tastes and cultures of the hundreds of thousand who descend upon the region every year for their annual holiday. In fact, many former residents from Scandinavia, the British Islands as well as all parts of Western Europe have settled in the region, opening business catering to the demands of their fellow countrymen. Facilities on offer along the entire length of the Costa Brave include water sports either on the leisurely pace of a yacht, or on a super powerful motor boat.

The Costa Blanca has become a center for golfing holiday, especially the area around Torrevieja where there are no less than five golf courses.
For those who want to let their hair down a little, there are night clubs and bars, again many catering for traditional Spanish cultures. You will also find British style pubs and restaurants, beer kellers. Every night or the week the towns of the cities of the Costa Blanca is alive with partygoers of all ages letting their hair down.
