The white coast of Spain stretches along the Mediterranean Sea with a backdrop of mountains. The area has cliffs, coves, sandy beaches, and beautiful towns both on the coast itself and inland. The weather and Spanish culture encourage many people from all over the world to move here and to buy property in Spain.
March is a great time to visit the area with mild, sunny weather and lower off-season prices. There are plenty of attractions, but fewer crowds visit places of interest. If you are looking for a villa to buy in the Costa Blanca at this time of year, it is easier to enjoy the experience outside of the heat of the summer.
There are some great places to visit at this time of year, including museums and monuments, the Archaeological Museum of Alicante, the Chocolate Museum in Villajoyosa, and the Museum of Miniatures of Guadalest. When you buy a property in the Costa Blanca, you can enjoy visiting places of interest at a time of year when there are fewer tourists, making it easier to enjoy them.
The mild weather of the Costa Blanca ensures that you can enjoy protected areas and nature parks in one of the prettiest seasons when spring is taking over. This is a time of year when visiting the Montgó Natural Park, walking the Benissa Ecological Coastal Path, or climbing the Peñón de Ifach will reward you with wonderful scenery. If you prefer to buy a villa in Jalón, you will be able to fully enjoy the almond blossom that covers the valley in the spring. Many local dishes will contain almonds, and it is well worth trying these in one of the many local restaurants.
In nearly every town, celebrations take place throughout the year. In nearby Valencia, the spectacular Las Fallas festival takes place between 15th and 19th March each year. The Fallas comprises a parade of elaborate papier-mâché caricatures depicting satirical political and celebrity figures from the current news. They are paraded, displayed, and, at the end of the festival, burned on the last night, followed by fireworks, music, and dancing. The enjoyment of partying in Spain, with various "Fiestas" taking place throughout the year, make the Costa Blanca a great place to buy a home in Spain and immerse yourself in Spanish traditions.
It is also worth remembering that this is a great time of year for family day trips to the theme parks in Benidorm and to enjoy the activities available at Terra Mítica and Mundomar among others. Those who buy a villa in Moraira will find that there are often discounts at times of year when fewer tourists are crowding these attractions.
There is a wide variety of entertainment in all towns, including live music, clubs, casinos, and theatres. If you find an apartment to buy in Jávea, you can enjoy English films at the local cinema.
Local markets and "rastros" (flea markets) are held in a variety of coastal and inland towns selling local crafts, clothing and produce. Those who buy a home on the Costa Blanca will enjoy buying the locally produced fruit and vegetables from the weekly market stalls.
So don't only visit the Costa Blanca in the summer, there is plenty to do and see in the spring too. Hamiltons Real Estate (formerly Hamiltons of London) will be happy to advise you about what is happening and where, as well as helping you to find the perfect villa for sale on the Costa Blanca for you and your family. We are sure that you won't regret the move!!!
Yes. March offers pleasant temperatures, fewer visitors and an excellent opportunity to view properties without the busy summer crowds. It is also a great time to explore different towns and experience everyday life on the Northern Costa Blanca.
Prices vary depending on the location and type of property. Apartments generally start from around €200,000, townhouses from approximately €250,000, and villas from around €350,000, with luxury homes in prime locations commanding considerably higher prices.
The Northern Costa Blanca is served by Alicante-Elche Airport and Valencia Airport. Both offer regular flights throughout Europe and are approximately one to one and a half hours from most of the area's popular towns.
March is usually mild and sunny, with daytime temperatures often ranging between 17°C and 21°C. It is an excellent time for walking, sightseeing, outdoor dining and viewing properties before the warmer summer months arrive.
March is one of the prettiest times of the year, with almond blossom still visible in parts of the Jalón and Orba Valleys, colourful spring flowers beginning to appear, quieter beaches, and popular walking routes such as the Montgó Natural Park, Peñón de Ifach and the Benissa Ecological Coastal Path being much less crowded than during the summer.
