Swimming in Costa BlancaCosta Blanca is known as the coast of the province of Alicante. Originally a fishing village before, around the coastline you will see various roman ruins which held the Salazon—this is known as the factories where they salted the tuna. Tuna was the main source of income by the residence of Costa Blanca. But today, fishing is no longer the main source of income but tourism. Eventually, as the days, weeks, months, years and centuries passed Costa Blanca was discovered due to its fascinating and unique beauty.

Costa Blanca is blessed of having been noted as the favorite spot for tourists who were looking for tranquility and peace. Particularly in the northern part of Costa Blanca, here are the must see places to visit.

Benissa—it is just a small and old-style Spanish market town which can be seen along the main “A” class road going to Alicante/Valencia. What to see here is some of the interesting shops, square and cathedral.

Calpe—this is famous due to the de Ifach that is located on the coastline which likes a small description of Gibraltar. Aside from the de Ifach, Calpe is also famous due to its alluring pristine long stretch of beaches. Tourists can also do shopping here with their large shopping area.

Benidorm—this is noted not only in Costa Blanca but all over Spain as the largest holiday resort. It has two long sandy beaches, bars, disco pubs, night clubs and more that you should not miss to experience.

Ondara—a medieval market, upon touring the market you will notice that the stallholders are wearing vibrant costumes. Though it is a medieval market, it still dynamic due to its lively atmosphere.

Things to know about Gandia of Costa Blanca

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Astonishing beach of GandiaCosta Blanca is one of the most rushing destinations in Spain. It is the favorite vacation spot by the foreign tourists particularly the British people. Since you could not tour Costa Blanca in just one day, it would be nice if you start your journey around the province with your guided list of itinerary.
Start it with Gandia. Though this is the least attractive resort amongst Costa Blanca when you base it with the tourist’s best choice however, still it has the beaches that you could never imagine it exists. The glimmering golden beaches to the main of the town are considered first class while the rest of the resorts are very much themed to the Spanish tourism and some of its bars and restaurants are owned by the tourist’s people. If you want to eat to some of the food chains because you feel like eating burger you could visit McDonalds and Burger King. You could find them by strolling around the Playa Nord.

Just to remind you, the town of Gandia is never been appointed as a tourist destination in Costa Blanca but it is a vibrant, working town. In spite of it all, Gandia is a great place to wander around if you want to see other parts of Costa Blanca aside from its beaches. The place is not monotonous because there are also other interesting things to see and discover around Gandia. One of the must see icon in Gandia is the 14th century Palacio Ducal de los Borja. If it is your first time to tour around Gandia, a tour guide is recommended. The tour would take in every half hour and a break for lunch in between 1pm and 4pm that if during the winter season, but in summer you would have a break around 5pm.

Another interesting place to discover in Gandia is the Passeig de les Germanies. It is a tree lined boulevard with benches and fountains. It is the favorite hangout with the local pensioners. You can take your time recuperating your mind here, and see around the beauty and vibrancy of Gandia.

  • Beaches and Coves are one of the attractions in most Spain travel. Yet in Calblanque let it be luxury holiday or a mere adventurous backpacking holiday- everything all boil down to the most beautiful beaches that you can lay your eyes on. The 13 miles of beaches also owned tiny hidden coves all just for you.
  • DR. W stands for dunes, rides and walks. One of the best in any Costa Blanca holiday. On this activity you will appreciate the Spanish properties, luxury villas and the horizontal scenery you can catch on your finger tips. I prefer the day view than the night view even though I love the lights. You can bring or hire bicycles if you wanted to enjoy a tranquil bicycle ride around the luxurious green sceneries.
  • The wildlife, flowers and mountains. Yes as you conquer Calblanque mountains you will see a breathtaking view of the sea and the surrounding Calblanque perimeter. You will also appreciate the flowers that grows around the area.
