Costa Blanca offers mile after mile of beautiful beaches and virtually year-round sunshine making it one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe. Despite this, the Costa Blanca remains one of the most scenic areas of Spain where unspoilt fishing villages and historic towns lie between miles of white sandy beaches. Our villa is situated in the centre of the region on a spectacular part of the coast where pine forests and olive groves meet the stunning blues of the Mediterranean.
The region offers a wide range of water sports as well as horse riding and a selection of superb golf courses. Calpe, the nearest town to La Fustera, is a small yet bustling resort that has retained much of its charm and centres around a harbour with beaches on either side of the impressive Penon D'Ifach, an enormous rock that rises from the sea and can be seen from miles around.The Costa Blanca (White Coast) is now one of the most cosmopolitan areas in Europe, having a coastline of over 200 kms and made up of some of the finest beaches on the Mediterranean. Many of these beaches, including the ones in Calpe and Moraira, enjoy a "blue flag' status - the highest award that can be given within the EU. However, just a short dive inland and you'll find hillsides covered with terraced vineyards and lush-green citrus orchards, a legacy of the agricultural traditions of the area, and dotted with charming villages full of narrow streets and flower-filled squares.
The Costa Blanca region of Spain also has one of the best climates in the world as defined by the UN's world Health Organisation. Enjoying on average over 300 days of sunshine a year, summer temperatures rarely fall below 30C whilst winters are typically very mild with average temperatures around 18C.
Clues to the region's history are very evident as you explore its villages,towns and cities. Place names have their Arabic roots but it's the architecture which is most striking. Ancient villages were built on hilltops and always featured winding streets to aid defense against marauders. GUADALEST is a fortress village that dates back to the middle ages, perched at over 1500m on a mountain peak about 25 kms inland from Benidorm, it is still only accessible via a tunnel passing through 15m of solid rock.
The inland areas of the Northern Costa Blanca are considered by many to be some of the most beautiful parts of rural Spain. Drive inland and 20 minutes from Calpe and you will come to the JALON VALLEY which is an excellent example of this type of countryside with its natural beauty, vegetation and stunning mountain backdrops The whole area i particularly attractive with olive and orange groves, vineyards and, early in the year, the wonderful scent of almond blossom.
For those seeking a more cosmopolitan experience, VALENCIA is about 1 hour's drive to the north. This is Spain's third largest city and offers superb modern shopping facilities as well as a wonderful, traditional fresh meat, fruit and vegetable market. Drive about 40 minutes to the south and you'll find BENIDORM with its unrivaled nightlife. However, other attractions at Benidorm include Mundo Mar Marine and Exotic Animals. The park is home to a wide range of creatures living in simulated natural environment with one of the highlights of the day being the amazing dolphin show. Next to Mundo Mar Marine is Aqualandia, which features a multitude of water entertainments. Finally there's TERRA MITICA, the spectacular theme park will transport you back to the Greek and Roman eras and has one of the biggest roller coasters in Europe.
