Experience Alicante
Costa Blanca is Spanish for "White Coast", it refers to the miles of white sandy beaches that lie between the turquoise waters and breathtaking mountains of Alicante.
The Costa Blanca offers a diverse mix of bustling tourist resorts, picturesque fishing villages and medieval towns.
There are plenty of scenic routes and places to discover like the 16th century Castillo de Santa Barbera (St. Barbera's Castle) on Mount Benacantil, for great views of the city.
