The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region

Six Reasons to go to Costa Blanca
· Blue Flag sandy beaches with clear blue sea
· Popular well-established resorts with great facilities
· Spirited Fiestas and Buzzing Nightlife
· Pretty hilltop villages and rugged mountainous walks
· The largest theme park in Spain
· World class golf courses

Go… exploring

The Costa Blanca offers such a wide variety of activities that holidaymakers are spoilt for choice. Sightseers delight in the Moorish castle at Guadalest, the Castell de Santa Barbara in Alicante or the area’s countless historical churches. Explorers take to the cool Sierra de Aitana mountains, discover caves and waterfalls and breathe in the fragrant citrus groves. Families will love the water and theme parks, water sports and the many excursions available. For others a range of sports are on offer, including a coastline filled with some of Spain’s best golf courses. However you choose to spend your holiday, you will find something to suit you.

Go… to the beaches

The white sandy beaches of Costa Blanca offer every modern convenience and many have been awarded the Blue Flag for cleanliness. Water sports, diving and sailing can be found in most places along with beach bars, restaurants and shops. The shoreline is dotted with rocky bays and secluded inlets good for diving and fishing - but it is the clean white sand gently sloping into clear sapphire water that really appeals to families and couples alike and makes our villa holidays in Costa Blanca one of the most popular in Spain.

Go…shopping

Shopping on the Costa Blanca is some of the best Spain has to offer. Coastal town streets are lined with shops selling everything from handbags to lace, and perfume to sun cream. Most items are competitively priced and a good buy in the area is locally produced wicker wear. For fun shopping, visit a lively market – stalls are filled with fresh fruit and fish, hand-painted ceramics and colourful rugs. For chain-stores and more sophisticated designer wear, visit Alicante’s large malls or browse along the esplanade and try the turron (nut nougat) a local delicacy.

Go… for nightlife

Costa Blanca is one of the Spain’s hottest nightspots and countless bars, discos, clubs and pubs draw partygoers all along the coast.

Our villas are set away from the liveliest resorts where people take a more relaxed approach to evening entertainment. Javes, Moraira and Altea have a good selection of bars and restaurants and a couple of discos. Try a traditional paella to the sound of Spanish guitar, or enjoy local tapas and watch a flamenco display. Or simpy stroll along the harbour and soak up a warm summer evening under the stars…

Take time to go…
· To a local fiesta. Witness the epic battle between the Moors and Christians, or watch giant effigies burn on the bonfires of the Fallas.
· To Tirra Mitica, the largest theme park in Spain. Ride through the myths and legends of the ancient world. The brave can try the Tizona – an inverted rollercoaster that reaches speeds of 62mph!
· To the Castell de Santa Barbara at Alicante and enjoy the wonderful view of the city from its lofty tower.
· To Europe’s only palm forest at Elche and the Parque Municipal inside the city to enjoy its grassy tree-lined walks and adventure playgrounds.
· Discover Alicante’s oldest building the Museu de Arte and view its impressive modern collection including works by Dali and Picasso.
· Take the ferry from Alicante out to the tiny islet of Tarbarca, choose a seafood restaurant in the quiet fishing harbour and enjoy a lazy lunch alongside a rocky beach with crystal blue water.
· To a local market and taste the finest oranges in the world.
· Take the children to Aqualandia and dive through the waterfalls, conquer the rapids and slip down slides at this marvellous water park.

Algorfa / La Fontana Residential area

Algorfa remains a typical Spanish farming village devoted to growing citrus fruits - oranges and lemons - and lies on the rich agriculture land on the Segura River plain. Curiously the municipal district divides the old town centre in two, as the left side of the road is part of Almoradí and the right side Algorfa.
It lies between the tourist costal area and the ‘real inland Spain’.
On the road to Benejuzar there is a graceful and unusual church (above)constructed at the beginning of the last century in the very popular Neo-Gothic style of the period. The church can be visited whilst visiting the beautiful green countryside in the fertile valley of the Segura River.
The village is centred around the village square and hosts bi-weekly markets on Tuesday and Sunday and although there are a few non Spanish bars and shops, most are owed and run by locals. There are a few traditional bars as well as a pizzeria/hamburger bar, butchers, fishmongers, banks, bakery, post office, language school, medical centre and other essential shops.
There is also a Public sports centre which is well maintained and it has a large swimming pool, tennis and squash courts and five a side pitches.
In summer this centre, around the pool area, becomes a social centre with families gathering to discuss the events of the day.
Algorfa has its annual fiesta held in July in honour of the Nuestra Señora la Virgen del Carmen.

The surrounding area has changed in recent years with the construction of the championship La Finca Golf Course.Presently an 18 hole course.
As always, there has been extensive housing development around the Course and on the outside of the village.
La Finca is fairly self contained when complete it will have a 4 star hotel, shops, restaurants and amenities. Currently, April 07, there are just a few banks, one supermarket, a wok buffet restaurant but this is changing week on week as units open.

All properties in this area are suitable for Golfers with those located in the village being slightly cheaper to rent than those at the Golf Course.
However, a car is necessary as it’s a bit far to walk to the course especially with clubs etc. If village based, then on your return from the course, the car can be left while you walk to the local bars and restaurants.
If you want the beach, then the excellent beaches at Guardamar and La Marina are a 15-20 min drive away along excellent roads.
The village hosts one disco so don’t expect lots of lively night life.
