Where to stay on the Costa Blanca

If you are new to Spain, or just new to the Costa Blanca, you may be forgiven for thinking that each town is another Benidorm.

You could not be more mistaken.

The town of Benidorm, now grown to the size of a small city, is very, very different to the rest of the coastline - almost to the point of being a different world. Most of the small towns along the coast are unspoilt and little commercialised. You can quite easily find the Spain that so many people have fallen in love with - little fishing villages and quite coves, typical Spanish villages with their narrow streets and unhurried lifestyles as well as upmarket and modern urbanisations. There are many hotels and aparthotels available on the Costa Blanca as well as self catering in the form of campsites and short term rentals or holiday lets.
