Costa Blanca Villas For Sale | Costa Blanca Family Day Trips
A family villa for sale in the Costa Blanca means you have chosen to move to an area with plenty of things to do. There are mountains, fascinating cities, theme and aqua parks, and the Mediterranean Sea.
Sierra Bernia
The towns and villages north of Alicante are backed by the beautiful Sierra Bernia mountains, which shelter the coast and help support the microclimate enjoyed in this region. If you love nature and walking or just a pleasant drive to an out-of-the-way restaurant for lunch, you can enjoy lovely views and, if you are lucky, may see foxes, wild boar, and mountain goats. When you buy a villa in the Costa Blanca, your family can enjoy many different experiences as they grow up and learn about their new home.
Algar falls and Guadalest.
The waterfalls of the river of Algar are located close to the town of Callosa d’en Sarriá. They are a natural paradise surrounded by wonderful scenery where your family can enjoy a refreshing soak in the natural pools at the bottom of the falls. There are picnic areas, facilities, and restaurants located here. The restaurants offer traditional dishes from the area. When you find a villa for sale in Calpe, it is just a short drive away from the coast to enjoy a sunny day outside.
Slightly further into the mountains is the historic town of Guadalest. This beautiful medieval village is among the most beautiful in Spain. Located at the top of a steep rock, the main attraction is the Castle of San José. It overlooks a reservoir constructed in the 20th century and has brought even more beauty to the area.
Theme Parks.
Just a short drive from all the towns, whether you choose to buy a villa in Moraira, find an Apartment for sale in Calpe, a townhouse in Benitachell, a bungalow in Javea, or prefer to purchase a Finca in the Jalon, there are plenty of places to enjoy a day out with the children. Just behind the famous town of Benidorm is the theme park Terra Mitica, which leads you through five themed areas of Egypt, Greece, Rome, Iberia, and the Mediterranean Islands; there are rides, an obstacle course, themed shows, and restaurants. Next door is Terra Natura Animal Park, and not far away is Mundomar, another animal park. Both have a variety of animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, dolphins, and sea lions. Children will have fun at the Aqua Natura and Aqualandia water parks.
Alicante and Valencia.
Alicante and Valencia are more than just their airports. When you buy a home on the Costa Blanca, do visit them and enjoy excellent areas for shopping, long seafront promenades, and historical attractions. Alicante’s history offers intriguing sites to visit, including castles and museums. You can enjoy the splendid City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia and visit the Turia Garden. A visit to the Silk Exchange—gothic buildings built for the silk trade when it was at its height and now a Unesco World Heritage site. The old silk route close by still offers plenty of opportunities to treat yourself or a loved one to a new silk scarf or tie and a memory of this wonderful city. Next to the Silk Exchange is the central market where fresh local products can be tried and purchased.
Benissa Coastal Walk.
If you find a villa for sale in Benissa, then you can’t miss the ecological walk along the Benissa Coastline, which can be done in its entirety or split into two shorter walks. It is also an easy driving distance from both Calpe and Moraira. Adapted to hug the cliffs and coves there are several areas to enjoy the environment from a well-placed bench or picnic area. Information panels along the route explain plants, animals, marine life, and rock formations. Stop at one of the many small beaches en route or enjoy lunch in one of the purpose-built picnic areas.
Montgo Mountain.
Situated between Javea and Denia, those who choose to look for a villa for sale in Denia or Javea will hear locals referring to the Montgo as the Elephant because of its shape. It gives a clear impression of the head, with the trunk leading you towards the sea. The mountain is also a nature reserve, with more than 650 plant species and 150 species of wildlife, including eagles, snakes, lizards, badgers, dormice, and rabbits. A favorite walk is from the beach of Las Rotas in Denia across the Montgo to Javea Port. The walk is of medium difficulty, is about 8.8km one way, and takes approximately three hours. There is a bus to take you back or an alternative; a boat can give you a relaxing and enjoyable return journey along the coast.
