The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region


The Costa Blanca boasts one of the best climates in Europe. It has over 320 days of sunshine each year, with average midday temperatures of 21degrees C. and remarkably low rainfall.
Other towns within 40 minutes of the area worth visiting are Murcia, Cartagena,Elche & Alicante. The famous La Manga club is about an hour away, as is Benidorm, with its waterparks etc. The romantic city of Valencia is around two & half hours drive.
The Guardamar del Segura / Elraso area
The area has everything you need for a fantastic holiday!! The beaches to the north of Torrevieja are long and shallow and in common with most Costa Blanca Beaches are awarded the blue flag each year for facilities and water quality. Some of the best golf courses in Spain can be found in the area.Rojales course is only 10 minutes away.
Guardamar del Segura (the closest town) is a small typical Spanish costal town and is about 4 km away. It lies on the river Segura in an evniable costal position. The town has a wonderful landscaped park where you can sit and relax, together with long sandy beaches and nearby pine forests. Sand deposits left by the Segura river meeting the sea cover an area of over 800 hectars running parallel to the coast. The threat of the town being covered by sand was a real possibility and for this reason the huge expanse of pine forest leading down to the beaches was planted in the early 1900's. The white sandy beaches of Guardamar are some of the finest in the region stretching more than 7 kms.
The history of Guardamar dates from the 10th Century when it was inhabited by the Moors. The remains of the castle can be seen and of particular interest is the Iberian settlement of Cabezo Lucero where La Dama de Guardamar (lady of Guardamar) dating from the 4th Century BC can be found.
Local fiestas are celebrated in Guardamar all year round. The main festivals are at Easter and on the 21st June when bonfires are lit in the town and fireworks explode from the castle. In September and October the festivals of Virgin of Fatima and Rosario are celebrated. They are a vonderful opportunity to take part in traditional Spanish custom and are a fun way to spend an evening.

We have stayed at El Rasso several times. The villa is beautifully located and very well appointed. Ease of access and proximity to services is the best I have seen yet. The advice booklet in the villa is top notch. Colin and Carolyn have made staying so easy and effortless. Everything you need is there and fully explained which takes the stress out of staying abroad in rented accomadation. It was a pleasure staying at this villa. |
