The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region
The region in which Algorfa sits is semi-rural, with acres of orange and lemon groves lining the roads in and out of the village. The towns of Murcia, Orihuela and Alicante are just a short drive away and well worth a visit.
The Costa Blanca means ‘white coast’ due to its fine white sandy beaches. The nearest resort of Guardamar is 10 – 15 minutes drive away. This is the start of approximately 15 miles of fabulous sandy beaches stretching north towards Alicante. Various cafes/restaurants can be found at intervals all along the beach.
Murcia has a lovely cathedral, excellent shopping and an old casino. Guardamar is a lovely town 15 minutes away, with museums, pine groves, parks and miles of golden sands. Alicante is a busy city with excellent shopping, a varied nightlife with the restaurants centralised and a pleasant port in which to sit and relax at the cafes. Don't miss Alicante castle.
There is also the bustling resort of Torrevieja 15 minutes drive away with its beautiful coastline, shops, bars, restaurants and night market. Terre Mitica water park is 45 minutes drive and Torrevieja water park is about 15 minutes away.
This region boasts many golf courses with 15 championship golf courses located between Alicante and La Manga, and a further 10 in the planning stages.
Due to both the sunshine and the two huge salt lakes which result in low humidity levels, the region is rated one of the healthiest places in the world by the World Health Organisation. People swear by the healing properties of the mud found in the lakes.
