Top Things to do in Costa Blanca
The 10 Best Castles in Costa Blanca, Valencian Country
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 sun took a break so we headed off to Guadalest. After a bit of a ropey drive up a very windy CV-70 we arrived ahead of the bus tours. The Tourist Office guy was super helpful. We wandered through the House of Orduna which was really a treat. We climbed the 200 steps to the top of the castle ruins. The views are amazing. Well worth the visit

This is the main historic building of Santa Pola which is actually the city centre. Lovely building and surounding which is the home of the Sea City Museum. It is also the home of Santa Pola patron on her lovely and cute chapel (Capilla de la Virgen de Loreto). If there is something happening in Santa Pola, it is definitely not too far from El Castillo

The Castillo of Moraira is set on the seafront near the Marina and is a prominent landmark of this town. From its position you have wonderful views of the bay and the town of Calpe with its prominent rock. We didn't go inside the Castillo as each time we passed it wasn't open which was a shame.
