The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region

There is so much to see and do in and around Alicante, however we have picked out a few must do's to give you an idea! However a good guide book for the Costa Blanca is always worth buying, just so you can get the most out of your stay.

AGOST
Agost, a small village around 20km north west of Alicante has a long history of pottery manufacture and is still one of the best places in the Alicante region to buy pottery and ceramic ware. This town makes more earthenware botijos than any other spot in Spain. The authentic souvenir is the Botijo de Novia.

ALGAR WATERFALLS
Buried in a jungly green valley filled with citrus and medlar groves, the water alternates between cascades and pools running between river banks covered with bourganvillea in summer. Starting at the lowest and most spectacular waterfall, you can climb up alongside the river for around 25 minutes until it becomes a mountain stream and then wade on up to the top. Bath in its various pools and waterfalls. Don't forget your swimming costumes! On the Benidorm - Callosa Road.

BENIDORM
What can be said about Benidorm that hasn’t been said already? Yes it’s brash and commercialised, but also has 2 fantastic beaches, great shops, lively atmosphere, superb restaurants and nightlife plus something for everyone! The world famous Benidorm Palace http://www.benidorm-palace.com is worth a visit for a fantastic night out with a 4 course meal (including wine) and spectacular show. The old town, in between the two beaches, is well worth a visit and is full of atmospheric restaurants and tapas bars. Hard to believe that until the 1960’s Benidorm was a quiet sleepy fishing village!

ELCHE
Well worth a visit is the city of Elche, just south west of Alicante, about 35 minutes drive. Over 300,000 officially protected palm trees in the city lend it a somewhat exotic air. These palms are evident on every street corner and can be especially enjoyed in the well-tended city park and just a short walk away in the Huerto del Cura (Garden of The Priest), a botanical garden in the palm forest which has now been added to the UNESCO cultural heritage list. The main attraction here is the Imperial Palm, a hermaphrodite palm tree that changes sex every 70 years and sprouted seven trunks, one of which produces dates.

JIJONA
Jijona, is located in the mountains between Alicante and Alcoy and is a small town set on a hill, with remains of a medieval castle, giving unparallelled views of the Mediterranean. The drive will take approx half an hour from Alicante. Nowadays, Jijona is famous for Turron, a famous Spanish nougat made with almonds, orange blossom honey and sugar, which is traditionally eaten at Christmas. There are numerous roadside stalls where it is sold with pots of honey and even a Turron museum where you can see how it is produced. Here you can have a half hour visit and around the work shop and private museum and then sample the delights of the many different varieties of Turron in the shop. Not a visit for those watching their weight!

TABARCA ISLAND
A superb day out, the tiny island of Tabarca just 10 miles south of Alicante is situated just a 30 minute ferry ride out to sea from Santa Pola. It is the only inhabited island in the Valencia region and you can catch the glass bottom boat fairly regularly from Santa Pola for around €12 adult and €9 children. You can walk around the old town and its ruins, watch birds, swim or snorkel in the crystal clear water and have lunch at one of a hndful of restaurants with views of the island and the sea. Remember to take your sun lotion!

The Alicante area

Gran Alacant is a mainly residential area and therefore perfect for families - just a few miles south of the vibrant and beautiful city of Alicante and just to the north of the traditional Spanish seaside town of Santa Pola. Nestling in the hills above Alicante Bay, there are stunning views across to the city and the castle of Santa Barbara and northwards to the Crevillente mountains. The few miles distance to the airport make Gran Alacant a particularly good place to stay as you can be in your holiday rental accommodation in less than an hour from landing and, because Gran Alacant is not on the flight path, there is no aircraft noise.

Gran Alacant is a mixture of villas, townhouses and apartments on a number of different Urbanisations, all with access to swimming pools. The area is quite cosmopolitan with an interesting mixture of nationalities – mainly Spanish, British and Scandinavian own property here – yet has a typical Spanish feel. This mixture is reflected in the bars and restaurants in the area. Spanish run tapas bars, fish restaurants and pizzerias mix happily with British owned bars and restaurants. Gran Alacant has five good quality supermarkets and all less than 5 minutes drive from most of our holiday rental properties.

Gran Alacant has plenty to offer those looking for a relaxing holiday and also those looking for something a bit more active. With easy access to Alicante city and the excellent motorway network, there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding areas. Less than 40 minutes by car is the exciting Terra Mitica theme park just outside Benidorm. Also for children at Benidorm is the superb water park Aqualandia which is next to Mundomar the sea life centre.

As you would expect Gran Alacant also has pharmacies, banks (all with cash machines), panaderias (bakers), heladerias (ice cream parlours), a video/DVD rental shop, internet café, hairdressers, nail bar, petrol station and car/scooter rental agencies. Night life in Gran Alacant is low key with the emphasis on good food and good wine with more than 50 bars and restaurants to choose from.

Close to Gran Alacant, and just five minutes by car, is the typically Spanish resort of Los Arenales del Sol. Facing onto miles of sand duned beaches, cleaned each day, Los Arenales is a popular weekend destination for people from Alicante and families from all over Spain have holiday homes here. In the resort are plenty of bars and restaurants some with superb views of the sea and Alicante on the other side of the bay. During the spring and summer water sports of all types are available from the beach. For beach lovers, a lazy day at Los Arenales is highly recommended.

For walkers there are a number of clearly marked trails in the Nature Park that surrounds Gran Alacant. Birdwatchers will also enjoy following the trails as there are many species to be seen at all times of the year. A little further afield there is excellent walking near the Santa Pola lighthouse whose light can be seen most evenings from Gran Alacant.

Gran Alacant is a superb choice for basing your stay on Spain’s glorious Costa Blanca. We have an excellent choice of competitively priced, privately owned apartments, villas and townhouses for rental, all located close to swimming pools and within walking distance of a range of bars and restaurants. The immediate area has plenty offer the holidaymaker and is twenty minutes from all the attractions of the stylish city of Alicante. One of the best beaches on the Costa Blanca is on your doorstep and all the facilities you need are close at hand.

Guestbook for Casa Coral

C REMONDET - AUGUST 2011
"A perfect holiday in this little corner of paradise! Calm and relaxing, and the pool was a pleasure for all of us. Many thanks to the owners who allowed us to rent a property of such quality! Also thanks to the keyholders Mark & Martin for giving us such a warm welcome. Everything was perfect!!!!!!!"

S SCOTT - JULY 2011
"The accommodation is in a great location near to, but not on top of, shops, supermarkets, restaurants and other facilities. Only 15 minutes transfer from the airport - It feels safe and has a fabulous private pool which offers a perfect respite for a lazy restful break. There was a market with the most amazing fruit and veg on the street outside on a Thursday morning and a great Italian restaurant 10 minutes walk away. It's is the second time we have been and love it - we'll be back!!"

J SWANSTON - JULY 2011
"We had a great time in our apartment in Gran Alacant, it was lovely. The booking process was par excellence and I would recommend using you to my family and friends. Martin, the keyholder, was a lovely guy and really made us feel at home, so big thanks to him. Also, on a final note, to see that the deposit had been refunded back into my bank account the day after our return and on a Saturday was amazing! Thank you Alicante Holiday Villas."

J WARD - MAY 2011
"We really enjoyed our time at the property and will be hopefully booking again for later this year. The area was quiet and parking no problem. The supermarket was within walking distance and had a full selection of food and drinks. The kitchen in the apartment was sufficient to cook for four people and the washing machine was an advantage. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

G ADAMS - APRIL 2011
"Just a quick email to say that we had a fantastic holiday. Best holiday apartment that we have stayed in to date and Martin did a fantastic job in meeting and greeting etc. and making us feel welcome in Gran Alacant. We really would like to visit again soon."

K ROBERTSON - SEPTEMBER 2010
"The property was excellent, it was exactly what we were looking for. The apartment had all the necessary facilities required to have a comfortable stay. The outside area was private and secure. Having our own pool was great. We couldn't have asked for more. Gran Alacant is only 10 minutes from the airport so you spend less time travelling from the airport to the resort. The area had all the amenities, the shop was a minutes walk away and was well stocked with local and international brands. There was a market on a Thursday which was right next to the apartment. There were plenty of restaurants to choose from with various cuisines within easy walking distance. The key holder was extremely helpful and friendly and gave us information about the area when we arrived. Alicante Holiday Villas were extremely professional throughout the whole booking process, everything was processed efficiently and promptly. I will definitely be booking with them again and I have recommended this property to family and friends."

D NICHOLDS - SEPTEMBER 2010
"What an amazing holiday. It's a shame that these days you don't really expect good customer service or to receive everything you expected but we have been very pleasantly surprised. 'Perfect' is the only word to describe the holiday and the service we received. Firstly the website was accurate and honest with excellent photos that give a true impression of the property. Booking the holiday was easy and friendly with excellent customer care. When we arrived in Alicante the key holder was extremely friendly and helpful and the apartment was everything we had hoped for. The accommodation was fantastic with a lovely garden and an excellent private pool. As we have a 1 year old daughter we were looking for certain things from the holiday including convenience and comfort. The supermarket is about 100 yards down the road, restaurants 200 yards and beach just down the hill or a short bus ride. There is also a weekly market every Thursday right outside the front door. The satellite TV meant that we were able to watch all UK TV once the little one was in bed and the sun had gone down. We will book again, no question!"

S FISHPOOL - JUNE 2010
"Everything was superb. Martin the keyholder was lovely and the property was spotless. Definately going to book for next year."

V JAMES - JUNE 2010
"We had a fabulous time, very relaxing and can't wait to go again in August."

A HORDELL - APRIL 2010
"We've just returned from spending a week here. We wanted to write and say what a gorgeous apartment it is, the photos really don't do it justice!!! Also, we'd like to say a big thank you to Martin, who met us at the apartment and gave us lots of information about the local area, and made us feel very welcome. All in all, we had a lovely week's break, and are recommending your accommodation to our friends and family. Thank you."
