Though, Costa Blanca has undergone so many changes to accommodation the millions of tourist that flocked to this Spanish Coast, it has preserved some of its heritage- the fishing village. Before sunbathing and frolicking in Costa Blanca beaches perhaps you want to visit Altea and Xabia to get a glimpse of the past through these villages.

Castell de Santa Barbara is a very magnificent castle in 400 BC which built by the Carthaginians. What makes this very beautiful in my eyes it the features that accompany this castle. Perhaps get a first experience in tunnels, drawbridges, cisterns and moats.

Museo de Arte del Siglo XX Asegurada is another must-see for museum connoisseur. Old ages do not mean fewer splendors; the reverse is true here in Costa Blanca. The oldest building in Plaza de Santa Maria has the most modern art collection that any culture lovers would really love.
