Our Hamiltons Real Estate team love to inspire our customers who are hoping to buy a property in this beautiful region. Something that we hope helps them get to know their potential new home towns better is knowing what events are taking place. By joining in with these, those seeking property for sale in the Costa Blanca can begin to integrate with the local communmity and become familiar with local history and tradtions.
September in the Mediterranean
The Costa Blanca is a great place to be all year round but, September is particularly lovely. The crowds begin to thin and summer holidays finish and the coastal towns from Altea to Denia return to local inhabitants to enjoy the still sunny but, refreshingly, cooler days following the intense heat of the previous couple of months. The sea and pools remain warm so enjoying a swim of some water sports is still something that can be enjoyed. It is also a great time to recomence other outdoor activities exploring the local countryside and hills either on foot or by bike.
Party with the Locals
- Mare de Déu de Loreto Javea: Anyone who has just moved to or who are currently searching for a property for sale in Javea will enjoy the colourful processions and live music which accompany the honouring for the town patron saint of the sea. However, those wishing to participate should ensure they are aware of the full program in case they wish to avoid the controversial Spanish tradition of “bulls to the sea”. There are plenty of other events to enjoy during this fiesta which begins at the end of August and continues until 8th September. There are plenty of family activities, including processions and floats, junior fishing competitions, races, music, games, drinks and food.
- Moors and Christians Altea: There isn’t a town in this region that doesn’t celebrate this historic event at some point in the year. Commemorating the period in Spanish history when the Moors invaded and occupied the Peninsula for several centuries until it was re-claimed by the Christians there are re-enactments, spectacular costumes, parades and a wonderful atmosphere with music and fireworks too.
