Costa Blanca, in the province of Alicante, is a popular destination for tourists, many of them British, and offers a diverse mixture of things to do and see. The white coast or Costa Blanca has many outstanding beaches, from the pebble beaches in the north of the region to the Blue Flag quality of Oliva (where all the towns’ beaches have been awarded this coveted prize), Calpe, Benidorm and Javea. Benidorm Benidorm is Costa Brava’s most popular resort and with its cosmopolitan, lively atmosphere, extensive restaurants, theme parks and golden sandy beaches, is it any wonder that it has remained well-loved by British families travelling to Spain? Calpe Once a quiet fishing village in Costa Blanca, Calpe has been transformed into a large bustling town, with two gorgeous sandy beaches overlooking the crystal clear blue, Mediterranean Sea. The Penon de Ifach is a 600 metre high granite rock, which is a stunning landmark, right on the beach. Raw fish, which has been netted locally, is displayed outside the fish restaurants for customers to make their own selections before being whisked off to the kitchens before landing on the plate. You really can’t get much fresher fish than that. Javea The town of Javea is steeped in history, from its gothic church in the heart of the old town, the Roman inscriptions found in the foothills of the National Park of Montgo, the Moorish style streets and Javea’s many coves and bays, which were once the hiding place of smugglers and pirates. Javea boasts an almost perfect beach (classified by the World Health Organisation) and benefits from 320 days of sunshine, which is prevented from dropping below 15C, even during the winter month, by the nearby Mount Montgo. With its active and busy fishing port, splendid restaurants, shops and art galleries, Javea offers a taste of Spain, that many other areas in the country have lost.
If Costa Blanca is the crown jewel of Spain, Javea is certainly its brightest diamond. Villarentals4u own the magnificent “Villa Purivida”, set in beautifully landscaped gardens, with two luxury fitted lounges, five double bedrooms and within, easy, driving distance of all Costa Blanca has to offer. It could be the ideal holiday villa rental in Spain, from which sample all Costa Blanca’s many treasures.
