Costa Blanca

The Costa Blanca or White Coast, is made up of two clearly differentiated scenic sector. To the North, a curtain of mountains runs parallel to the sea, descending at times to form cliffs; to the South, a vast plain of sand patches, palm trees and salt deposits make up the backdrop for the beaches.

The traveller can choose any of the corners of this coast, from the bustling and cosmopolitan to those which still maintain their rural air beside the sea.

The climate offers variations as well. The temperatures are usually mild- the annual average is a little higher than 18 celcius and rain is scarce, though is logically higher in the mountainous northern sector, in comparison with the lowlands which surround Elche and Orihuela.
