In the north of the Costa Blanca broad and long sandy beaches alternate with spectacular steep coasts. Most of the beaches are certified with the blue flag, which means a superior quality of the water, clean and tended beaches; life-guards of the Red Cross watching the beaches and some of them are certified beaches with special water vehicles for disabled people.

A wide range of all different kinds of water sports are there to choose from: swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, surfing, sailing, water skiing, jet skiing, fishing etc.

  

The mountains and valleys of the hinterland are not only for mountain bikers and motor cyclists pure enjoyment but also for hikers and mountaineers, who can choose between many wonderful hiking trails with spectacular views. Sports also includes golf courses, horse back riding, tennis, para-gliding etc. Especially in spring  the seductive fragrances of the almond blossoms, lavender, rosemary, thyme, oranges and lemons are all around you in the air.

Sea promenades invite you to go for a stroll and a feast or just to cruise along the beach.   In the Bodegas you will enjoy the wine of the region from the wood and numerous Fiestas invite you to celebrate and have some fun. Children are welcome guests at the Costa Blanca.

The swimming season starts in Mid-May and ends Mid October (start/end  counted with water temparatures over 20 degrees).

Nightlife in the Costa Blanca region never ends – after 10 p.m. many pubs and Flamenco bars will be opened, and even later discos and Benidorm will attract and magnetize you with its dancing shows.

In autumn, winter and spring everything is blooming and green on the fertile Costa Blanca. Throughout the day 22 to 24 °C can be reached. In winter nights the temperatures seldom sinks down to 5 °C. -

Most enchanting is the blossoming of the almond trees in February and the blossoms of the orange trees in March.  

The ‘cooler’ time of the year is also the better time to explore, discover and hike along all those wonderful walks with its beautiful scenic views across the jagged and rugged mountain ranges and down to the sea.
