Costa Blanca Travel Guide
Costa Blanca Local History
The fine, white sand of the beaches of Costa Blanca are from where its name came, but there is more to this quiet region than just beautiful beaches. The inland terrain with high craggy mountain peaks, rolling hills covered in cherry blossom and deep lagoons is a paradise for hikers, while the densely populated coastal town provides accommodation and nightlife.
Costa Blanca Attractions
Top Attractions
Do Not eat here - There's a small, local restaurant in Venta Lenuza (between Alicante and Benidorm)named The Jetset Restaurant. The food is average but the service and owners make the entire experience miserable. One young man in particular who works the afternoon shift is especially rude; he would not speak to us at all. Unfortunately, this was the only restaurant in this little town and we were stuck eating there because we arrived late one weekend.
Al Gusto, Calle Colon, Denia - Excellent cuisine at Al Gusto's where you can chose menu del dia for a 3 course meal with wine for 10 euros. Denia has and excellent array of restaurants with over 300 to choose from giving fantastic choice and value.
Las Fallas at Denia - Las Fallas is a unique, fabulous fista. Huge efigies are built out of paper mache, wood and wax each telling a different story. On 19th March there are bonfires and fireworks which go on till the early hours of the next morning. The Fallas Fiesta will be brilliant this year as the Easter parades will continue on through making it a supurb Easter vaccation time.
The Fusion Gallery - The Fusion Gallery is a fabulous International Art Gallery located on the church plaza at the top of the old town of Altea, featuring Paintings, Sculpture and Photography. Tel: 34 696853007
El Mono Loco Lounge Bar and Restaurant - El Mono Loco offers a unique eating experience on one of its six specially-designed barbeque tables in our bright and spacious conservatory. Order prepared meat and/or fish from the barbeque menu and then relax whilst cooking your own lunch or dinner with your friends or family. Its a great social experience for all.
Costa Blanca Parks & Gardens
Parque Municipal - The municipal park in Elche is filled with palms and subtropical flora, doves drink from the lovely fountains built in the fashion of the Arabic style. Here you can rest in the shade of the trees and let life go by for a while, as you catch your breath and give you feet a well-earned rest.
Hort del Cura - The Orchard of the Priest in Elche is one of the most beautiful parks of the Costa Blanco, with tall spreading trees offering shade to the brilliant colours of the flowerbeds beneath their boughs.
Montgo Natural Park - This natural park in Denia is a challenging climb for hikers, and has a network of trails running through it from the easy stroll in the park type to the "I' ll show you, you damn rock!' type.
Costa Blanca Beaches
Calpe's two main beaches are divided by the spectacular Rock of Ifach, which has come to be the symbol of the Costa Blanca. The rock soars 322 metres into the sky and is a nature reserve.
On either side are the fishing port and beaches, where scuba diving and sailing are favourite pastimes. The sheltered location of Javea provides quiet waters and serene beaches, one of which is a 'clothes optional' beach, the Playa de Ambolo.

La Plaza - Calpe (Old Town) This small, intimate restaurant serves Swiss/French cuisine, and has a warm ambience with the immaculate chef paying as much attention to his guests as he does to the preparation of his dishes.
