Costa Blanca, how I love you! A postcard-worthy view of the Mediterranean where the sun bellyflops into it. The vibrant beaches and historical routes of this part of Spain will bring you culinary pleasures. When packing for your sun-kissed getaway, you shouldn’t simply throw your beach towel in any old place. We’ll take a stroll through some places that may steal your hearts faster than the first flan.

First stop, Alicante! This vibrant city has style, passion, and rhythm. Santa Barbara Castle is perched on a hill and offers stunning views. It’s worth more than just a few snaps. Imagine the breeze blowing on your face as you gaze out at shimmering waters. This is what dreams are made of. Take a stroll along the Avenida de la Rambla and grab some churros. Enjoy Spanish music and shops.

We’ll now head over to Benidorm. Las Vegas and the beach have eloped. As if on a journey to the clouds, skyscrapers sprout out of the sand. Daytime, beaches are a magnet for sun-worshippers. At night the nightlife in this town is a hive of activity. Yes, the city is touristy. However, does that not add to its charm? Take a fun approach.

Altea is next. Altea, if there was a competition for most picturesque village in the world, would win. Altea’s whitewashed buildings gleam as the sun shines, its winding roads invite you to explore, and from far away, the sea is azure. Plaza de la Iglesia is a place of artistic appeal, and its dome-topped church commands the attention. Enjoy an afternoon of exploring hidden courtyards. Long after you return home, the local atmosphere will remain with you.

The Jalon Valley will delight wine enthusiasts and nature-lovers alike. The landscape is dotted with vineyards, while almond trees litter the country in the spring. You’ll feel like you are walking through an impressionist work of art when visiting this area. Wine tastings? Oh, absolutely. You should save room for some local tapas, which will make your mouth dance in flamenco. It’s hard to imagine a better pairing.

Do you think that’s all there is? Guadalest will make you rethink your opinion. This village perches on the edge of the cliffs and is just a few whispers away from heaven. There are museums that tell tales from the past in many of the streets. Views? The views will steal your breath faster than the drop of a roller coaster. This is a land where the breezes play hide-and-seek with stone houses.

Moraira will be your best choice if you are looking for peace and tranquility. This is a whisper in the midst of the chaos. Formerly a fishing community, the tranquil beaches and coves offer a sense of peace. It is like a town that embraces the sea with a warm hug. There are many seafood restaurants in the area, which serve up the taste of the ocean. Imagine eating calamari while the waves whisper sweet things to you.

Javea lies just past bustling streets, and the stories of its turbulent history. Here, the beaches are spread out as if they were welcome mats. The cliffs and waves kiss each other here. There’s an air of relaxed luxury. Enjoy sunny afternoons playing treasure hunters in rock pools, or flitting between the sands and waves. As evening falls, you can enjoy the twinkle and light of al fresco tables under stars. Which cuisine is it? What is the cuisine?

Costa Blanca, a colorful canvas. Each town has its own hue. A story is waiting around every corner. Each location has its charm. Whether the bustle and noise of Alicante, or the waves in Moraira. Grab your sunhat, put on those walking shoes and enjoy dancing along the shoreline. Costa Blanca awaits with its arms wide open, eager to let you experience the magic of this region in your unique style.
