Flight guide to Costa Blanca

Lying on the eastern coast of Spain, the Costa Blanca draws millions of tourists each year to its turquoise waters and miles of white sandy beaches. Alicante is the capital and major city on this stretch of coast, but it is Benidorm that attracts the most visitors and this is the place to go for those looking for a lively and entertaining holiday with hundreds of bars and all-night clubs catering mainly for British tourists. However there is more to the Costa Blanca than crowded beach resorts - within the mountainous interior are a series of fascinating medieval towns and fortified villages which have been largely unaffected by modern development.

North of Altea the beaches are split up by rocky coves and cliffs and are less heavily developed.  South of Alicante to Torreviaje the landscape is barer and leads down to the dramatic tree-filled sand-dunes of Guardamar del Segura.
