Inland Alicante, Spain - A Place in the Sun

Inland Alicante, Spain, Leah Charles-King

Manuel and his grown-up son Marvyn are from Cardiff. They work together in property refurbishment and management and have decided to join forces to find the perfect holiday home that the whole family can enjoy. They think Alicante is the perfect place and have asked for the help of property expert Leah Charles-King. For their budget of £130,000 Leah has five great options for them – but will any of them be the dream?

About the area

Found right in the middle of the Costa Blanca, Alicante is one of the most popular tourist destinations in all of Spain and direct flights to its airport take under 3 hours from the UK. While most visitors head straight for the 120 miles of sandy beaches there are treasures to be found inland here too. Traditional villages and towns like Agost and Monovar are nestled in amongst rolling countryside and are filled with streets lined with cafes and restaurants. And for the history buff there’s loads here too with castles and pretty domed churches aplenty.
