Costa Blanca Info

In April 2006, the World Health Organization confirmed that, due to the favorable climate of the Costa Blanca throughout the year, this area was declared one of the healthiest regions in the world. The sunny climate ensures better well-being, ideal for people unfortunately suffering from asthma, arthritis, and skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis.

You don't come here by chance: the incredible weather, beautiful beaches, friendly people, and healthy lifestyle make Spain the ideal place to live. With over 218 kilometers of coastline, surrounded by soft sandy beaches and calm waters, 2800 hours of sunshine per year, a privileged climate, and a warm sea, these have been the main attractions for millions of visitors for decades.

Modern tourist infrastructure and improved communication roads have made it easier to reach the Costa Blanca, where the landscape is shaped not only by the sea but also by majestic mountains that tower above everything. Alicante is the second most mountainous province in Spain, and here unfolds the greatness of the Mediterranean landscape.

From valleys with terraced crops originally laid out by the Moors to a horizon filled with oaks, pines, and carob trees, infused with the scent of various aromatic plants. Mountain and hiking enthusiasts can enjoy well-marked trails that traverse our inland districts. In the south, the mountains give way to palm groves, and small farms stretch as far as the eye can see.

Our region is dotted with archaeological sites that bear witness to the rich history of an area inhabited for thousands of years. Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, and Muslims have all left their mark, and the remains offer us a glimpse into their way of life. Along the coast or inland, you can savor our rich regional dishes and quality wines from our vineyards.

Whether you want to explore small mountain villages or modern coastal towns with vibrant nightlife, history and monuments characterize the landscape of our villages and cities inland. Along the coastline, you'll find numerous marinas and facilities to enjoy the sea and water sports. The Costa Blanca has between 300 and 325 sunny days annually, making it one of the sunniest destinations in Europe. This means you can come here for cycling all year round. Since temperatures can get quite high in the summer, the best period is between October and May. The peak season for cycling on the Costa Blanca runs from early March to late May.

Whether you're into road cycling, mountain biking, or a leisurely bike ride for sightseeing, the Costa Blanca is suitable for every cyclist. Want to cover kilometers without too much elevation gain? Along the coast, you'll find beautiful bike routes with sea views. Are you specifically looking for climbs? Then the Costa Blanca is the right place. The Vuelta, also known as the Tour of Spain, regularly uses the Marina Alta mountain range. This range is located near Dénia and Calpe. The most famous climb is the Col de Rates. This ascent starts from the village of Parcent and offers expansive views of the rugged mountains and ocean.

Golf enthusiasts know that our golf courses have unparalleled facilities. We strive to ensure that every traveler finds what they're looking for on the Costa Blanca, and that's what we aim for every day.
