If you want a family holiday near the beach, a golfing holiday in the sun, or just a relaxing time in Spain, the Costa Blanca has it all and more. Easy to get to from the UK, served by all the low cost airlines and only two hours away from the UK.
The southern Costa Blanca has a mild climate in winter, beautiful spring and autumn weather and sunshine all through the summer. Renowned for having over 320 days sun a year, the Costa Blanca is the ideal place to get away from the UK weather.
It is also a great base to explore Spain, thirty minutes from the historic city of Cartegena (where Hannibal landed his elephants), half an hour from the hustle and bustle of Alicante and for those who are more adventurous just over two hours from Granada and four hours from Madrid.
