A region steeped in history with its many castles, monuments and churches - also, an area to enjoy the pageantry of colourful fiestas and carnivals.

Alicante, the capital provides every amenity expected from a world class city.

Coastal resorts like Javea, Campello and Cabo Roig are environmentally friendly, meticulously planned locations very popular with Spanish and foreign residents seeking a secure, peaceful environment.

Whilst other resorts such as Altea, Benidorm, Calpe and Torrevieja with their many bars, restaurants and entertainments attract the more active.

And, of course a choice of picturesque villages such as Aguas Busot, Sella, Catral offering a quality of life that has very little chance of being spoilt because of strict planning controls.

Wherever you visit on the Costa Blanca you will not be too far away from fine sandy beaches, quality marinas and golf courses as well as first class medical attention and public transport.
