Alicante |
the original Spanish holiday destination |
|
Alicante on Spain's Costa Blanca is a paradise of blue skies, superb beaches and sunshine all year. |
|
The Costa Blanca - the ‘White Coast’ -
was christened 2,500 years ago by Greek traders who
founded the colony of Akra Leuka (‘White Headland’)
near today’s Alicante. Amidst the rocky, sunbaked landscape are
fertile river valleys and lush groves of lemons, oranges,
almonds and olives, and vineyards producing sweet muscatel
grapes. On the Costa Blanca you can certainly brush
up on the three ‘Rs’ - rest, relaxation and recreation.
The prettiest stroll on the Costa Blanca must be along
Alicante’s Esplanada de España. Alternative name: Alacant
(Catalan).
Alicante is the southernmost of the three
provinces which make up the Valencia region. Many tourist
attractions can be found along the coastline, including
sport of all kinds, mountains, castles, forests, etc.
There are clearly defined areas in the province, such
as, Upper Marina, with the towns of Jávea, Teulada,
Benitachell and Calpe. Lower Marina, which is made up
on the zone which centres around Benidorm, includes
Altea and Villajoyosa and also the foothills of the
Aitana Sierra (1,580m). The central area of Alicante
extends inland towards the industrial area with the
towns of Elche, Aspe, Movelda and Elda. The southern
area with the maritime towns of Guardamar, Torrevieja
and Orihuela with extensive plains of market gardens
which extend inland. The mountain area which includes
the foothills of Aitana, Mariola and Carrasqueta Sierras.
Especially important is the route of the castles, made
up of the fortresses of Villena, Bañeres, Biar, Castalla,
Sax and Benejama. The city of Alicante offers the visitor
numerous beaches including San Juan, and also tourists
should visit Santa Barbara Castle, Monastery of Santa
Faz, the Cathedral, the Archaeeological Museum, Church
of Santa Maria and the Modern Art Museum. Access to
the city is linked to the Mediterranean Highway which
stretches to the French border and runs through the
main Spanish coastal cities. Regular flights are available
from El Altet airport to the world's main cities and
the port offers regular runs to Barcelona, the Balearic
Islands, Canary Islands, France and North Africa.
