Ok, so you want to holiday or live in the Costa Blanca South, Spain?
Well there’s loads of reasons why you might visit or stay in the Costa Blanca. Here’s a few general good reasons to come over.
Sun: Over 300+ days of warm lovely sunshine !!
Sand: Blue flag beaches galore stretch for miles and miles !!
Sea: Swim safely in the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea, calmly washing your cares away !!
Scenery: Step away from the coast for a while and see the wonder of the mountains and valleys full of lush palms, fruit and vegetables.
Sangria: The famous fruity wine drink that suits the lazy days around the pool, terrace or seaside bar.
Serrano Ham, olives, salted almonds, chorizo sausage, cheeses, paella, vino, fresh fish and other tasty Tapas dishes of Spain are a traditional treat in most Spanish bars and restaurants … Luv ‘em!
Siestas and Fiestas: Lots of them, the Spanish love their casual and fun way of life. No 9 to 5 here… there’s just too much living to do and festivals to attend. And they know how to put on a party. Ole!
Outdoor Living
And if you are quick you’ll realise all the above are Al Fresco activities… the joys of outdoor living. The freedom and certainty of being able to ‘play’ outside or sit in a sunny café-bar and watch the world go by is far cry from the cold, damp winters of Northern Europe. What other reasons do you need?
Off the Beaten Track
Costa Blanca South is more than just a collection of glitzy resorts. It’s beauty and diversity will amaze you. But you have to get a map, get a tourist book, get in the car and EXPLORE. I highly recommend you do because you’ll be missing out if not.
Going Local
To visit Costa Blanca means finding the hidden corners, the treasures of the inland where traditional Spanish life has hardly changed, where the baker and butcher still ply their trades from a local shop, where market day with it’s freshly picked produce is the hub of the week. Where prices are not inflated to fleece the tourists… and where the locals are friendly and welcoming. Get off the beaten track and see the real Spain.. it’s amusing and rewarding.
