General Information about the Costa Blanca
Once south of Benidorm there is a succession of similar beach resorts with high
rise apartment blocks and hotels although nothing like as big as Benidorm. First
there is El Campello, then San Juan and then Alicante, for many people the
gateway to the Costa Blanca.
Alicante airport is where most people arrive into the Costa Blanca. Many people
do not stay to see Alicante and the lovely city, great marina and beaches, as
many just head straight to the motorway and either head south towards Torrevieja
or north towards Benidorm.
In recent years the the amount of building in the Torrevieja area has been
immense with sprawling developments everywhere. It has become a resorts mainly
populated by British, and sometimes known as "Little Britain", where people come
to have their version of Britian in the sun. Many areas cater for the British
and Spansih is not the first lanagauge of the area! There are quite a number of
golf courses in this area with Villamartin and Rojales both just off the coast
having three golf courses within easy reach.
Visitors to the southern Coast Blanca will find it less scenic than the Northern
Costa Blanca but then there are more tourist activities and both Alicante
airport and also Murcia airport (known as San Javier airport) are close by.
