Costa Blanca

The cuisine of Costa Blanca is truly unique – full of interesting flavors, local products, and fresh ingredients. Several products, such as Turrón nougat from JIjona and Alicante, cherries picked on Alicante's mountains, and grapes from Vinalopó have been awarded the Certificate of Origin to recognize their exceptionality. The Costa Blanca also has a lot to offer for wine lovers. Various local wines such as Moscatel Alicante or Tinto Alicante have won several prizes. No matter if you win your next round of golf or not, you should treat yourself to a delicious meal and a glass of wine.

If you’re enchanted by the natural landscape of Costa Blanca, make sure to visit Palmeral de Elche, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that contains more than 200,000 palm trees. The cultural calendar on Costa Blanca is full of many exciting events. Visit Benidorm in November to attend Benidorm’s Patron Saint Festival and enjoy a week of music, parades, and impressive shows. You can also organize a trip to some of the most authentic Spanish towns such as Barrio de Santa Cruz and El Castell de Guadalest. Hikers will be mind-blown by the natural landscape, northern mountains, and small lakes that are spread throughout the region.

Discover a fascinating history of more than 1,500 years of legendary battles and spectacular defenses. On Costa Blanca, there are around 230 constructions (castles, watch towers, or bunkers) that will tell you the most interesting stories and show you the history of Spain as you’ve never seen it before, especially in Denia. Some of the highlights are El Castillo de Santa Bárbara and Fuerte de San Fernando.
