Costa Blanca Sunshine for everyone
The Spanish Costa Blanca has many well established attractions which have brought
visitors to this area by the thousands, many of whome have decided to
stay and make it their home. The salt flats at Torrevieja have been an
important part of the attraction because of the high concentration of
minerals in the mud that surrounds the waters. People swear to the healing
properties of the mud and bath themselves in it to soothe athritic joint
problems.

There's more than you think:
The Costa Blanca or White Coast, which extends along that section of
the Mediterranean coast through the province of Alicante to the borders
of Murcia is made up of two differing scenic areas. To the North, a curtain
of mountains runs parallel to the sea, descending at times to form cliffs;
to the South, a vast plain of sand patches, palm trees and salt deposits
make up the backdrop for the beaches. If you buy a property on the Costa
Blanca the trip to the nearby regions is well worth the venture for they make up a fine representation
of the typical Mediterranean countryside with its many colourful Costa
Blanca Towns. |
| From the valleys, which are covered with stepped orchards
and keep alive its Moorish past, to the palm trees of unmistakable African
origin, the horizons of the Costa Blanca offer the most varied attrctions. |
Healthy Climate:
When considering buying a property
on the Costa Blanca you are assured of an excellent climate in which the
temperatures are usually mild with the annual average at around 18ºC
and over 300 days of sunshine per year. The world health organisation
(WHO) reportedly acclaimed it as one of the healthiest areas of the world.
The humidity is low, and therefore it can be ideal for sufferers of arthritis
and other climatically influenced health problems. The fields of almond
trees, the vineyards, the fruit orchards and the magnificent palm trees
form vegetation, which emphasises the oriental nature of the landscape. |
Well Positioned:
Alicante is right in the centre of the coast dividing
the Costa Blanca into two regions, which are different in scenery and
character. The northern Costa Blanca, which is backed by the green foothills
of the Sierra De Montgo, presents a varied coastal landscape of mainly
steep cliffs and pebbled coves in the area of south Denia, which give
way to long sandy beaches as the cost turns southwards. At its southern
end the shallow lagoon of Mar Menor you are in a different world of quieter
beaches and marinas. Dehesa de Campoamor with its beaches and marina is
a quiet holiday town popular with Spanish visitors, which is also becoming
very popular with the English. As you look towards La Manga shimmering
in the light at the end of the Mar Menor lagoon you are now at the southern
end of the beautiful Costa Blanca. The region boasts a wide variety of
sporting facilities, two of the best known naturally being golf and sailing,
both of which are well catered for. The whole area is steeped in history,
something, which becomes evident in the many fiestas, or festivals, which
number over 400 and are held throughout the year.
