You’ll be amazed by the natural landscapes along the valleys of Vall de Gallinera, Vall d'Ebo and Vall de Laguart, where you can breathe in the fresh air and relax in a setting of true tranquillity. Of course, you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to explore Montgó Nature Park: the beauty of the ancient cliffs there are sure to take your breath away.

Enjoy wonderful deals for cheap trips to the Costa Blanca and take the opportunity to explore the different cities and towns, as well as their beaches and coves. Go to see Calpe, which can boast the promontory with the highest altitude in all the Mediterranean and explore its historical streets and the castles of Altea discover the micro-climate and the sand and rock beaches of Jávea and immerse yourself in the culture and night life of Benidorm, where you shouldn’t leave without first visiting the viewpoint of Punta del Canfali or the tower on Punta de Cavall, as well as its theme parks.

Discover the architectural heritage of Villajoyosa, in particular the towers. You’ll be amazed at the number of towers you come across, many of which were built to deal with pirate invasions. Visit Alicante and take the opportunity to admire the Basilica of Santa Maria, which combines various architectural styles, as well as the cathedral of San Nicolás de Bari, whose Renaissance style is sure to please.

Of course, you can't leave the Costa Blanca without trying the best in Mediterranean cuisine, or without trying the local favourite: rice, with up to 300 different recipes. Wash it all down with some highly prestigious wines. What are you waiting for?
