The Costa Blanca is a beautiful coastal region located in Spain. This is one of Europe’s most heavily visted areas, the lively social scene and good beaches cover a majority of the white coast. As well as this, Costa Blanca is home to authentic fishing villages.
Costa Blanca appeals to families, couples, groups and singles, due to the short flight away from the UK. The constantly busy towns provide a lively evening atmosphere and the sandy beaches are great for families.
