Making the Most of Costa Blanca’s Attractions

Beyond the where and how of hotel bookings, Spain's Costa Blanca is a realm of experiences. Let's take a closer look at how you can incorporate beach relaxation, cultural immersion and gastronomic adventures into your holiday plans.

Enjoy the Beaches & Water Sports

• Levante/Poniente  in Benidorm: Levante is more lively, Poniente quieter; both ideal for sunbathing, water sports and strolling along the seafront.
• Granadella in Jávea: A snorkelling paradise with coves of turquoise water. Arrive early in high season to park or beat any beach capacity controls.
• El Portet (Moraira): A small, picturesque cove favoured by families or those who want to take it easy.

Discover the local cuisine

• Arroz dishes: Paella originated in nearby Valencia, so the Costa Blanca also reveres rice-based specialities. Try arroz a banda or arroz negro.
• Seafood & tapas: Fresh fish from ports such as Dénia or Calpe, plus typical Spanish tapas in local bars.
• Sweet temptations: Jijona (Xixona) is famous for its turrón (nougat). Nearby ice cream parlours also highlight local almond flavours.

Visit historical and cultural gems

• Castillo de Santa Bárbara (Alicante): Perched high above the city, it offers sweeping views of the bay. Great for a sunset view.
• Guadalest: Inland fortified town with a turquoise reservoir below - unforgettable photos.
• Alcoy: The Moros y Cristianos festival is legendary (although it's a little inland from the coast).
• Tabarca Island: Off Santa Pola. Spain's smallest inhabited island, perfect for day trips, diving and a quirky local vibe.

Embrace the outdoor activities

• Cycling: Coastal or mountain routes. Some hotels have agreements with bike hire companies, offering discounts or guided tours.
• Golf: There are several courses in the area (such as Villaitana, near Benidorm) where you can tee off almost all year round in sunny conditions.

Experience festivals & nightlife

• Las Hogueras de San Juan (June): Alicante's biggest fiesta, culminating in bonfires and the burning of giant papier-mâché figures.

• Moros y Cristianos: Many towns in the province of Alicante host these parades, lavish costumes and music celebrating medieval battles.
• Boat parties and cruises: In tourist centres, consider a sunset cruise or catamaran party boat for a new view of the coast.

Sustainability & eco-friendliness

• Respect marine life: Don't feed fish or damage reefs when snorkelling.
• Support the local economy: Choose small businesses, family-run restaurants or farmers' markets to keep money in the community.
