Home description
Situated on the headland just South of Alicante on the Costa Blanca, our house is within the popular area of Gran Alacant. Situated conveniently around the communal swimming pool and gardens, the house is arranged on three floors and can sleep up to 6 adults. The local white sand beach is one of the best in Spain and has secluded sand dunes along with a couple of wooden beach bars. The beach is approx. 15 minutes walk away down a winding road but it is possible to catch the regular bus .
In the local area there are a good selection of local and international restaurants and bars, shops,banks a supermarket and a 24 hour shop. There is an extensive street market every Thursday only a few minutes walk away. There are several more complexes of bars and restaurants within easy reach by foot. The main Commercial Zone of Gran Alacant is only a few minutes by bus

The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region
The Costa Blanca is well known for its micro climate which keeps avarage temperatures even in winter close to 20 degrees. The region has been popular with British and European holiday makers for many years now and the infastructure has been set up to cater for these tourists.
Within easy reach by bus is the vibrant cosmopolitan city of Alicante. With superb shopping facilities, excellent restaurants, bars and nightlife, all combined with traditional Spanish charm there is something for all the family to do.
A walk up to the Castle of Santa Bárbara, or the lift, is a must to view the city and outer regions as well as learn some of the history of the city. In the evening, take a walk around the magnificient harbour and marina, maybe stopping off at one of the many eateries or just a bar. A link tram from Alicante will take you towards Benidorm and all it's nearby attractions. Terra Mitica, Terra Natura, Aqualandia and Mundamor are but a few. There is plenty here to keep the family entertained.
Taking the bus in the other direction will bring you to the fishing town of Santa Pola. Small but perfectly formed, Santa Pola has a lot to offer. Well equipped beautiful white sand beaches branch out from the central harbour area, to the north are the quieter beaches, to the south you'll find the tourist beaches with many bars and restaurants as well as water sports. In this area you'll also find Pola Park, great to entertain the kids in the evening. From the Harbour take a glass bottomed Catamaran trip to the island of Tarbaca. A quaint settlement which is now a nature reserve.
Gran Alacant / Monte Y Mar area
With a vibrant street market every Thursday only a stones throw away, the house is well placed in this popular yet quiet area. Local amenities include, banks, supermarkets, pharmacy, shops, bars and restaurants of every variety. The main Commercial area of Gran Alacant is a short hop on the bus, here you'll find a large choice of shops, bars and eateries, as well as three hyper markets, a department store and later this year a bowling alley and cinema.
The local beach, Carrabasi beach, is a short walk away. Approached through sand dunes, the beach has an organic feel about it, yet has facilities including sun loungers, parasols, showers and refreshments from wooden huts.
Just the other side of the road from the beach is a beautiful nature reserve in a valley with excellent wildlife and plantlife to view.
