Top Things to do in Costa Blanca
10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Costa Blanca That You Shouldn't Miss
Costa Blanca is the name given to Alicante's coastline in Spain, which stretches over 200 kilometers. It is an incredibly popular holiday destination for tourists, because of the marvelous weather and beaches. Costa Blanca is family friendly, thanks to the huge range of activities available there from beaches and golf to museums and parks. There are the beaches, such as Los Náufragos in Torrevieja with its volleyball nets, golden sands and Blue Flag status, or smaller beaches like Serragrosa with its crystal waters, ideal for swimmers. But there are also golf courses (particularly the Villaitana club de golf near Benidorm) and watersports facilities and cultural sites like museums and galleries, such as the La Asegurada Municipal Museum in Alicante which has extensive collections of Spanish art. You will need a couple of weeks on the Costa Blanca just to scratch the surface of its entertainment potential.

The first brewpub and bottle shop in Albir. Great choice of craft beers, from the soft easy drinking lager to heavy Imperial IPA. Also wine on tap. Choose your favorite and take home with you in our 1L refillable bottles, filled with CO2 to avoid any oxidation of our freshly poured draft ales.

Miguel is doing a fantastic job running this bar. A 'must' place to visit in Albir if you like real ale
3. MARQ Museo Arqueologico de Alicante
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,003 reviews
MARQ is an archaeology museum which is dedicated to displaying its collection in a traditional way; as a collection of classified and catalogued finds. MARQ is a project faced with the challenge of being the first archaeological museum of the 21st century.
Reviewed By Photofanatic7 - Cheltenham, United Kingdom
Known as the MARQ this very modern museum displays many archeological artefacts in different, themed areas. From prehistory to contemporary there are many audio-visual and interactive displays with plenty of space to move round so that everyone can see everything. The lighting is (deliberately) dim which lends something to the atmosphere. Hang on to your little ones if you take them because I think they could easily get lost in this museum. There is an entry fee but it was only €1.50 each. Be aware that, like most museums in Spain, it's closed on Mondays.

With the Marq castillo tram stop being right next to our hotel this was a great way to get into the heart of the resort. Luceros being only 2 stops away leaving you with a idyllic walk down the Avenida de Federico soto to the marina .We also used the tram for a return trip to Benidorm only 8 euros return and this service runs every half hour .This is a great way to see the coastline and only takes 1 hour 10 minutes .The trams can get quite busy and you may find yourself standing up for some of the jouney as the service is popular with locals .

This was a great tour, very interesting, and we tried 7 different wines with delicious tapas after the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and while we were sampling wines, Enrique Mendoza himself came out to meet us which was a real treat. Definitely great value and a fun way to spend a couple of hours.
