Holidays in Costa Blanca

Costa Blanca (The White Coast) refers to over 200 kilometres of coastline belonging to the Province of Alicante in Spain.

The name "Costa Blanca" was devised as a promotional name used by British European Airways when they launched their air service between London and Valencia in 1957.

The Costa Blanca is now a popular destination for British and German tourists. Costa Blanca extends from the towns of Denia in the north, beyond which lies the Costa de Valencia, to Torrevieja in the south, beyond which lies the Costa Calida. It includes the major tourist destinations of Benidorm, Calpe and Alicante.

Beaches in the Costa Blanca are some of the cleanest in Europe with over 50 beaches winning a Blue Flag off the European Union. The Coastline of the Costa Blanca stretches for 218km and varies from the Dramatic Cliffs over secluded coves of Denia and Javea to the sandy beaches of Benidorm to the sweeping dunes of Guardamar.

Tourists to the Costa Blanca can enjoy a fabulous climate with a wide range of Sporting and Leisure activities. Hiking, Mountaineering, Climbing, Bungee Jumping, Canyoning, Scuba Diving, Sailing, Windsurfing, or even Hang-Gliding can be experienced while on holiday here in the Costa Blanca.
