The Costa Blanca is not just a long and beautiful coastline on the Mediterranean; it is backed by magnificent mountains and can offer sandy beaches, rocky coves, and mountain retreats. If you are thinking of finding a property for sale on the Costa Blanca, therefore, don’t restrict yourself to busy beaches, explore and consider some of the more traditional locations too, and immerse yourself fully into the Spanish way of life.
There are so many lovely towns to choose from along the Costa Blanca coast, some are more popular with tourists and others retain a more traditional feel, with Spanish city dwellers being the most likely summer visitors. All have a relaxed atmosphere but, some are livelier than others so explore and think about the way of life you enjoy best. Are you a party animal or do you prefer a more sedate cocktail hour followed by dinner? Everything is possible in this part of Spain.
Denia has both a popular sandy beach and busy marina but it also offers a historic port and old town, it really can offer something different to everyone. It is not a primary “package holiday” destination so, although it will be full of tourists during the summer, they are not on cheap packages that can sometimes give a place a poor reputation. It is a large enough residential town with enough visitors to ensure that there is both employment available and good educational facilities for your children. An apartment for sale in Denia can also be both convenient and inexpensive and may be the perfect place to start your journey as a homeowner in Spain.
Javea, on the other side of the Montgo mountain from Denia, is the charming old town and port of Javea, which oozes sophistication and is ideal for those who enjoy taking life more slowly. The old, cobbled streets are a pleasure to explore and full of boutique shops and traditional tapas bars to socialise in. If you find a townhouse for sale in Javea, you will be able to fully indulge yourself in the Spanish community, or perhaps you prefer an apartment overlooking the popular, sandy Arenal beach, where you can enjoy both the lively promenade and a variety of water sports.
Moraira is a peaceful green area with excellent blue flag beaches and a true community lifestyle. There are plenty of water sports available, as well as popular cycling, walking, motor-biking, and other social clubs, and activities available for all ages. If you are looking for a property for sale in Moraira, you will have the choice of living in a central apartment, a pleasant bungalow on an urbanization, or a luxury villa overlooking the sea. Possibly a little more expensive than some of the other towns, its charm is worth it and there will still be something available close by, whatever your budget.
If you choose to escape the hustle and bustle of the coastal areas where tourists will inevitably flock in the summer months, then why not look just a short drive inland to the towns in the Jalon and Orba Valleys? Here you can enjoy the best of both worlds with a country retreat or a traditional house in a small Spanish town nestled amongst the mountains, olive and almond groves, and vineyards. If you fancy a day at the beach, you are only a short drive away, and the airports of both Alicante and Valencia are about an hour from you. Here, you can really find a property for sale that will offer the best of both worlds.
Sometimes referred to as the Spanish Las Vegas and well-known for the sit-com named after it, this lively resort is perfect for those who really enjoy the party lifestyle. The beaches are magnificent, and there is so much to do. With mountains behind where you can horse ride or visit the theme parks that overlook the town, there is something here to always keep you busy. Apartments for sale in Benidorm can be purchased at reasonable prices and there are plenty of urbanisations just outside where a bungalow or townhouse can be found to offer you the perfect family holiday home. Despite its reputation, the resort does have a calmer side to its entertainment if you venture into the old town and enjoy an evening with the locals in “Tapas Alley”.
