What to do and see in Costa Blanca, Valencian Country: The Best Tours

September 24, 2021 Milan Banda

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.

It was amazing and I really enjoyed it, though I would have preferred to parasail on my own. It should be offered for single people as well

Great tour organized by Aaron and Daniel. Very professional and knowledgeable guides. Aaron knows a lot, not only about the history of the cave, but also a lot about the sea, the nature and the region. What I particularly liked is that he is really concerned about your safety and well being throughout the day. Great guys, great tour, highly recommended!!

We hade a fantastic time with Samuel, he guided us like a pro to the beautiful caves that can only be reached via kayak. At any time we felt relaxed and comfortable, the tempo was perfectly adjusted to our (very limited) experience as kayakers. Samuel provided some snacks and we had a picknick in the most fantastic place. Thanks again! Highly recommend this

Towns such as La Nucía, Polop, Callosa d´en Sarriá, Benimantell or Guadalest itself, are integrated into the landscape sprouting from the mountain itself. Stop at Polop de la Marina, the town where Gabriel Miró spent so many summers, authentic and local, we will drink water from its natural source. Then to Guadalest and visit one of the most visited and most beautiful places in Spain.

Torrevieja is the best place to make your first steps in surfing. Big waves are rare in the Mediterranean sea, that’s why here is the safest and easiest way to learn surfing. Our lessons are perfect for small kids and people that are just starting to learn surfing. Surfing is also a great sport that trains most of the muscles in the body, as well as a good neurological exercise, because it develops proprioception and balance. We like to say that it is good for the soul; it releases endorphins that keep you in a good mood, fit, and healthy.

Inclusions: Surfing Equipment, Private transportation, After Surf Drink

Our surfing lesson began with a theory on the sand, Dimitri, our instructor explained everything in detail and answered all questions after that we went in the water. Dimitri helped me all the time and pushed the board so that I could catch the wave. I was able to catch a wave already in the first lesson!!! Many thanks to Dimitri. It was one of the best experiences in my life. I definitely recommend!
