The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Alicante Province region
The Costa Blanca of Spain offers one of the best and most extensive ranges of tourist amenities in Spain. It's excellent climate, blue flag beaches, championship golf courses and cultural richness offers something for everyone to enjoy. The Costa Blanca attractions have been further enhanced by the opening of Terra Mitica near Benidorm, one of the most modern and attractive theme parks in Europe.
The Costa Blanca climate is ideal for year round golf and other sports, including tennis, swimming, sailing, water skiing, riding, go-karts, bowling greens and even hot air ballooning . In the evenings there is plently of nightlife to choose from, whether it’s a quite meal in a delightful coastal restaurant or a memorable evening of entertainment.
The southern Costa Blanca is mostly flat with fine sandy beaches, palm trees and salt lakes. The south is much drier and more typical of what a person who had never visited Spain would expect to see.
It has something for everyone from tiny rural inland villages to cosmopolitan tourist resorts on the coast such as Benidorm. Alicante is a large vibrant town with a large marina and major department stores such as El Corte Ingles, where you can purchase designer clothes etc.
Torrevieja area / Playa Flamenca area
The "Orihuela Costa", part of the sunny Spanish Costa Blanca, is ideally situated for perfect holidays or short breaks at all times of year. The area is a popular destination for holiday makers and sportsmen from all over Europe, including Spain, giving Villamartin and Playa Flamenca a truly international feel.
CLIMATE The summers are dry and the winters very mild. It’s claimed the area has more than 320 days a year of bright sunshine. The climate is generally slightly more agreeable than the rest of the Costa Blanca because the mountains being farther away from the coast, generate a pleasant breeze in the heat of the day. The Torrevieja Salt lakes help to make the area one of the healthiest places in Europe! - so says the World Health Organization.
Average temperatures range from approx. 18 deg C in January to 32 deg C in midsummer. It’s ideal for golfing breaks throughout the winter period, with almost guaranteed supply of sunshine all year round.
BEACHES Several blue flag beaches are within a short drive as are all the local amenities. There are Bars and Restaurants only a short walk away.
The nearest beaches: Playa Flamenca and La Zenia, are only a 3 minute car drive (15 minute walk) away and like many others in the area is comprised of small unspoilt coves with facilities on the beach or nearby.
GOLF AND SPORTS Playa Flamenca is every golfer's Mediterranean dream, with 3 beautiful championship courses of international prestige, within a 10 minutes drive of the apartment. Facilities include : Club Hire; Caddie Car & Buggy Hire; Pro Shop; Driving Range; Putting Green; and Restaurant. The fabulous Villamartin is a frequent venue for the Mediterranean Open. Campoamor, set amongst the palm and pine trees and Las Ramblas, another magnificent course, is a real test of your golfing ability. Within a 30 minutes drive radius, you can select from another 8 courses, each with it's own unique design, including the world famous La Manga and La Finca courses. All are challenging, but are most enjoyable to play.
Other sporting activities nearby include; Tennis, Horse Riding & various Watersports including sailing.
LOCAL ACTIVITIES If the family would like a change from playing by the pool or on the beach why not visit the Aquopolis water park in Torrevieja (open summer months), safari park (near Santa Pola), caves (at Canelobre) or the funfair by Torrevieja marina throughout the summer.
AQUAPOLIS water park is a wonderful day out for all the family; with Rapids, Kamikaze & Zig Zag water slides, Wave Pool, Swimming Pools & Infants Pool. Jacuzzi, Mini Golf, Restaurant, Cafeteria & lots more.
If you want a day away from the beach or golf courses, why not try a day in the beautiful countryside and enjoy the mountains, pine woods, olive and almond trees, orange and lemon groves plus 2 large salt lakes. The Salt lakes of Torrevieja are a favourite resting place for different varieties of migratory birds, particularly flamingo’s.
Alternatively, why on take a trip to the beautiful, unspoilt, Isla Tabarca (Tabarca Island) from Torrevieja marina or a coast line boat trip. You can fish, or jet ski or go riding at the many riding stables around. There is also ten-pin bowling and even quad biking and go-karting for the more adventurous
