Visiting Costa Blanca

Why visit Costa Blanca

The Costa Blanca offers a Mediterranean escape stretching over 200 kilometers. Enjoy sun-soaked beaches, many with Blue Flag certification, perfect for beachgoers and families. Explore vibrant cities like Alicante, home to historic Santa Bárbara Castle, or experience the lively entertainment and nightlife of Benidorm. Nature lovers can hike in diverse landscapes, including the unique pink salt lakes of Las Salinas de Torrevieja. Discover historic towns like Altea with its whitewashed old town, or visit the UNESCO-listed Palm Grove in Elche, blending relaxation with cultural exploration and outdoor activities.

Plan your visit

For comfortable temperatures (22-29°C) and fewer crowds, May to June or September to October are ideal, with the sea warm enough for swimming. July and August are peak season, hotter (30-36°C) and busier, suitable for beach-focused family trips. Plan for a week or more to truly explore this diverse region, though shorter 3-5 day stays are possible for specific areas like Alicante. Fly into Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC), the main gateway. Car rental is recommended for exploring inland villages like Guadalest and hidden coves, or use public transport connecting major towns. Consider combining your trip with a visit to Valencia to the north.

Thanks to kiwi.som, it was convenient with registrations, it was not always necessary to do it (but sometimes it was necessary to do it yourself). while people were still waiting for information on the board at the airports, you already knew what the boarding gate was. in case of flight delays, you were immediately informed about it
