Real life on the Costa Blanca

If you are new to Spain, or just new to the Costa Blanca, you may be forgiven for thinking that each town is another Benidorm - you could not be more mistaken. The town of Benidorm, now grown to the size of a small city, is very, very different to the rest of the Costa Blanca - almost to the point of being a different world. Most of the small towns such as Altea, Javea, Calpe and Moraira along the coast are unspoilt and little commercialised. You can quite easily find the Spain that so many people have fallen in love with - little fishing villages and quite coves and beaches, typical Spanish villages with their narrow streets and unhurried lifestyles as well as upmarket and modern villas and apartments. There are many hotels and aparthotels available on the Costa Blanca to suit all tastes - and budgets and you can find out more about them on
