The Costa Blanca enjoys an average of 300 days of sunshine per year with most of the region’s rainfall occurring in spring and autumn. South of Alicante, you’ll find fantastic beaches with sand dunes bordered by beautiful palm, pine and eucalyptus trees. There are many fine residential estates in the area, several of which adjoin top quality golf courses and all offering superb homes.
North of Alicante, as well as the famous cities of Benidorm and Valencia, there are equally beautiful beaches and harbours and many prestigious residential areas set against a dramatic mountain landscape.

Costa Calida
The Costa Cálida – ‘The Warm Coast’ – is ‘real’ Spain. Even now, with its excellent weather, delightful beaches and unspoilt countryside, the Costa Calida is largely unscathed by mass tourism. This is because the region has, until recently, been excluded from Spain's network of fast motorways.
Recently, however, the A7/A37 motorway has been extended from Alicante to Cartagena and Murcia and there are also regular flights between Murcia (San Javier) airport and the Europe. These developments have really improved access to the area and this is reflected by rapidly increasing property values. The Costa Calida, therefore, represents an excellent investment opportunity.
Walled off to the North, East and South by the inland mountain ranges of Andalucia, Castilla and Valencia, the Costa Calida is least known region of Spain yet one of the most historic and beautiful. It is where you’ll find the stunning Mar Menor lagoon, the heritage and ancient architecture of Cartagena and the walled city of Murcia.
