Top Things to do in Costa Blanca
What to do and see in Costa Blanca, Valencian Country: The Best Gardens
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.

Enjoyable 2 hour tour of the gardens with the charming owners. The tour is in Spanish but you do not need to speak it fluently to appreciate the visit. So much more than a garden full of plants especially cacti - also a little bodega in a cave, natural history museum, pond, stream and water features, patios, birds, frogs, terrapins and tortoises! It is best to ring to make a reservation for your visit. There is parking on site and it is all level with good access.

Such a beautiful place. Serene, green and lush with plenty of places to sit down in the shade as you contemplate the gorgeous palm trees and peacocks. Don’t miss the Imperial Palm Tree dedicated your Austrian Empress ‘Sissi’ who came to visit in the 19th century.

I recently went to these tea rooms with a bus group and loved it. The place is so charming and well displayed. I enjoyed wandering the gardens and truly felt I was in Morocco. The lovely stone paths, the calming music, the pottery, the Bedouin tent, the resident peacock, everything was perfect. The selection of teas was incredible, I had a delicious Rooibos chocolate flavoured tea. I also loved the baklava type pastries. As the sun set, the gardens and tea rooms took on a romantic, exotic feel. I wandered the candlelit paths and discovered many more interesting scenes. I didn't want to leave. If you are looking for something a bit different, this is the place to visit. It can be hard to find as it's tucked away but that is part of the charm. I will be bringing out of town guests here to be sure!!

A gorgeous park filled with palm trees, hibiscus plants and water falls. The perfect place to have a stroll on a warm day, with lots of shaddy spots to keep out of the sun. Take a book or some knitting, take some food, or grab a bite at the lovely little cafe in the centre. Owed by a lovely lady, very friendly staff and very reasonably priced. A perfect afternoon!
