Imagine this: Alicante. Like a friend who is always ready for fun but can also enjoy a quiet evening at home. Alicante is a welcoming city. From its bustling markets, where locals are bartering over fresh fruits and vegetables to the marinas that have been well lit under a starlit night sky. Spain has the answer for your thirst for refreshing drinks: horchata.
Then there is the magnificent Castle of Santa Barbara. The castle, which is perched atop Mount Benacantil and boasts panoramic views and tales from the past that will make the most hardy traveler weep.
There’s still more to come! We’ll slide to Benidorm – the heart of Costa Blanca. Like Vegas, but with tapas. And a coast that sings the song of sea. Nightlife in this city is not just vibrant; it’s also a carnival with colors, sounds and delightful chaos. Relax on Levante Beach, or Aqualandia – the adult-friendly waterpark.
Altea is a place of tranquility, as peaceful as the sunset on still waters. The town of Altea is a dream for artists, with its whitewashed homes and blue-domed church. It’s like walking through a book with pages colored in Mediterranean colors. Altea will demand your full artistic attention, so grab a paintbrush or camera.
The Jalon valley is a gift wrapped in nature for the traveler who loves the outdoors. They say that the almond blossoms rival any in the world, minus the exclamation mark. Inhale deeply and allow nature to soothe your senses. Prepare your walking shoes for paths and walks that will lead you on a journey of discovery.
The Costa Blanca is a place where food means more than just eating. It’s about having a chat over paella with saffron drizzled on top while you feel the wind tickle your hair. Olives are pressed to perfection. Locals will tell you that their outdoor dining is unmatched. Fill your glass and enjoy the conversation of others.
The festivals here are not just an event, but a vibrant tapestry that reflects the soul and heart of the locals. Las Hogueras de San Juan is a fiery display of tradition and art that transforms the night skies into a canvas. The experience is energetic, cultural and chaotic. It defies description.
Don’t forget the many shopping adventures. Costa Blanca is full of trinkets and treasures. Markets are much more than stalls. They’re an adventure filled with treasures and hidden gems.
What are you still waiting for? Costa Blanca, a Spanish paradise is more than a place on a map. It’s an exciting adventure that’s waiting to begin. Let this Spanish paradise capture your soul and add its magic to your story, whether your compass is pointing you towards lively fiestas of quiet sunsets.
