Costa Blanca — Spain's White Coast

The Costa Blanca — the "White Coast" — is a 200km stretch of coastline in the Valencia region with one of the best climates in Europe. The Benidorm meteorological station has confirmed it as one of the healthiest microclimates in Europe. From the lively city of Alicante to the tranquil gems of Altea and Jávea, the Costa Blanca offers something for every taste and budget.
