Costa Blanca
Trip Planning & Itineraries
The long stripe of the Costa Blanca (White Coast) is one of Europe's most heavily visited areas. It isn't all concrete and package deals. Although the original fishing villages have long been engulfed by the sprawl of resorts, holiday villas and skyscrapers, a few old town kernels, such as those of Xàbia (Jávea) and Altea, still survive. In July and August it can be tough finding accommodation if you haven't reserved. Out of season, those places remaining open usually charge far less than in high summer.
4x4 Jeep Adventure in the Prades Mountains
From USD $71.76
Without doubt the most exciting way to discover the rough inland of the Costa Blanca. Your professional drivers will take you to the most beautiful places of this area: forgotten villages, a picturesque reservoir, and a spectacular off road-climb up "Barranco de Garx".
Gandia & Playa de Gandia
Gandia, 65km south of Valencia, is a tale of two cities. The main town, once home to a branch of the Borja dynasty (more familiar to most people as the infamous Borgias), is a prosperous commercial center.
Four kilometres away on the coast, Playa de Gandia has so far avoided the tawdriness of too many Costa Blanca resorts. Its long, broad, sandy beaches are groomed daily by a fleet of tractors and backed by medium-rise hotels and apartments. Its a popular and predominantly Spanish resort.
