Southern Costa Blanca

About the area

Around a two and a half hour flight into Murcia and a short drive takes you to the southern Costa Blanca in Spain. Costa Blanca is literally translated as White Coast – and you can see why – with its 120 miles of stunning coastline and white sandy beaches. It’s all about the great outdoors here with loads of water sports on offer, and golf courses in spades! There’s a huge choice of fabulous coastal resorts on the Costa Blanca, but there are lots of traditional towns and villages dotted in between. So there’s a good mix of apartment blocks, urbanisations and traditional houses to choose from, to lay your weary head after a busy day in the sea, or by the pool!
