The Costa Blanca stretches more than 200km along the Province of Alicante. It extends from Denia in the north to Torrevieja in the south. Tourist magnets Benidorm and Alicante are in this province as well as the towns of Javea, Calpe and Santa Pola.

It's a costa of sandy beaches with excellent weather year-round. The Costa Brava is wetter and colder in wintertime; the Costa del Sol hotter and more humid in the summertime. The winter months have almost as many sunny days as the summer months.

To the north the Costa Blanca is mountainous and green and the quality of the beaches range from pebbley to sandy. In the south, beaches are sandier. Salt lakes and palm trees feature in the landscape.

Costa Blanca flights are the starting point for a perfect holiday. It offers something for everyone - from small, characterful inland villages to those cosmopolitan and hugely popular tourist resorts.
