Costa Blanca Property

The Area

The Costa Blanca is so called because of its remarkably luminous skies and the long, white sandy beaches which extend over most of its coastline. It is also reputed to enjoy the healthiest climate in Europe with lots of sunshine, mild temperatures and low humidity.

Costa Blanca has produced a few 'concrete jungles', although much of the coastline is still relatively underdeveloped. You can choose from the multitude of beaches, or discover one of the many little bays and inlets hidden behind the rocky outcrops which give the coastline its distinctive texture and character. To the north, the scenery is at its most dramatic, forming cliffs which rise steeply from the sea and dotted with offshore islands. A drive inland from the coast reveals the varied cultural history of this area, in particular its series of medieval hilltop castles.

Javea, probably the most select area of the Costa Blanca, is an interesting little town dominated by Mount Montgo and situated between two dramatic headlands. The old town of Javea retains its Spanish atmosphere with narrow streets, whitewashed houses and wrought iron balconies, whereas the coastal area is more modern but with a good selection of restaurants and bars.

Moraira is a little seaside town reached by country road which winds its way through vineyards and fields of almonds and olives. It enjoys an easy-going atmosphere and gentle pace of life. Narrow streets lead down to the port where a good range of seafront bars and restaurants can be found.

Activities

The provincial capitals of Alicante and Valencia, both historic cities with fine shopping, castles and cathedrals are well worth a day's visit. Valencia is also the home of the famous Lladró Porcelain - and visits are usually possible to its factory and seconds shops.

An abundance of watersports are available including windsurfing, diving etc. Other activities include tennis, horse riding, mountain biking and golf. La Manga Club is considered one of the world's finest golfing resorts with 3 championship courses which have hosted 5 Spanish Opens.
