This is a beautiful
coastline, boasting some of the best EEC blue flag beaches in Europe
all with blue transparent waters. The wonderful climate allows you
to enjoy the varying types of beaches from long stretches of fine sand,
to bays with rugged cliffs, to sand dunes all year round.

Inland are important marshlands and salt lagoons serving as habitats
for numerous protected species including the Flamingo and Montagu’s
Harrier. These large lagoons dating back to the 12th century are currently
amongst the most important in Europe.

As well as providing
a sanctuary for wildlife the salt lagoons draw moisture out of
the atmosphere creating a uniquely dry microclimate. The salt lagoons
are attributed in helping to improve the conditions of people suffering
from arthritis, asthma and rheumatism. The waters of the lagoon
are also rumoured to have curative properties and it is not uncommon
to see people bathing in them. Served
by two major International airports (Alicante and Murcia), both
within two hours flight time from the UK, an excellent motorway
network, express coach services, and good train services, this
unique area is not only one of the prettiest areas of Spain but
also one of the easiest to get to.
Known
as the ‘Market Garden of Europe’ the Costa
Blanca South is one of the gastronomic centres of Spain.
Its plentiful daily markets display a staggering and
mouth watering array of fresh fish, meats and every conceivable
variety of fruit and vegetables.With bustling fishing
villages,
numerous marinas, many bars and restaurants, an excellent range
of top class golf clubs and other sporting facilities, and a
thoroughly modern infrastructure the southern Costa Blanca really
does offer paradise to everyone.
