Costa Blanca
The Costa Blanca is more than beaches and sunshine. It is a large and varied part of Spain, with lively cities, traditional towns, coastal communities and quieter inland areas — each offering a very different way of life.
Why the Costa Blanca?
Stretching along the Mediterranean coast of Alicante province, the Costa Blanca offers a particularly attractive combination of Mediterranean climate, beautiful coastline, international connections and a wide choice of places to live.
Along roughly 200 kilometers of coast, you can find lively cities, traditional Spanish towns, major resorts, quiet residential communities and homes surrounded by nature. Alicante is a city. Benidorm is a major resort. Dénia is an established coastal town. Jávea combines beaches and mountains. Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa have large international communities. Yet they’re all part of the same Costa Blanca.
So while the Costa Blanca shares the same Mediterranean setting, there isn’t one Costa Blanca lifestyle. That’s what makes it worth exploring — and why choosing the right place to live matters just as much as choosing the right property.
Alicante
Alicante is the capital of Alicante province and one of the Costa Blanca’s main urban centers. It combines Mediterranean coastal living with the convenience of a lively city, with a historic old town, palm-lined promenades, urban beaches, restaurants and cultural venues that keep it active throughout the year.
It is also the Costa Blanca’s international gateway. Located just a short drive from Alicante–Elche Airport, the city offers convenient access to direct flights connecting the region with destinations across Europe and beyond. Rail connections and public transportation add to its appeal for those who want to explore Spain without being too far from home.
Alicante is a natural choice for those who want the sea alongside city amenities, an active social life and easy travel connections. It offers a different experience from the smaller coastal towns and resort areas nearby: more urban, more connected, and with everyday life at its center.
