General Information about the Costa Blanca South
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
Britain in the sun. Many areas cater for the British and Spanish is not the first
language 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.
