Costa Blanca
|
The Costa Blanca is now recognised as one of the most cosmopolitan areas in Europe. Along it's untouched coastline you will find hillsides covered with terraced vineyards, lush-green citrus orchards and breathtakingly pretty towns whose narrow streets lead down to flower-filled squares. |
||
 |
Known as the ‘Market Garden of Europe’, there are plenty of daily markets to visit. Here you can find a mouth watering array of fresh fish ( landed daily at the local port of Torrevieja), meats and every conceivable variety of fruit and vegetables including the world famous Valencian oranges and lemons. The acclaimed ‘Mediterranean diet’ is recommended by doctors for healthier, balanced, nutritional meals, giving Southern Costa Blanca the added benefit of being recommended by the ‘World Health Organisation’ as one of the healthiest environments to live in Europe. |
|
|
The 'White Coast' offers a healthy climate of over 340 days of sunshine each year and a uniquely dry micro-climate with remarkably low rainfall all year round. Rated to have the healthiest climate in Europe and second in the world,it is small wonder then that The World Health Organisation has seen fit to label the area, 'Almost as perfect an environment as it is possible to obtain'. |
 |
|
All 23 sandy beaches along the Mediterranean coastline have been awarded the Triple European Blue Flag.There are numerous Marinas, and an excellent selection of championship Golf courses including Villamartin, Las Ramblas and Campoamor.
Themed attractions include:

One of the best known Spanish locations surely has to be Spain's sun-drenched Marbella. Whether you enjoy sun-trap beaches, crystal clear turquoise seas or the best of Spanish nightlife, cuisine and culture, Marbella is the obvious choice for those of us who want to be in the sun and yet still be amongst a huge English population.

This
is the place to be if you are lively vibrant and simply humming
with extrovert personality! To the west of Malaga airport the first
few miles of the coast are taken up by the busy resorts of Torremolinos,
Benalmádena and Fuengirola. Inland of here are a number of
towns and villages with property in a rural setting, such as Coín,
Alhaurín and Mijas.
The
resort of Marbella seems to have it all and is, once again, rising
to the fore as a destination of choice. Further on is Puerto Banús,
the ultimate in coastal charisma where the nightlife is electric.
Sample the alfresco bars, restaurants and discos which are open
dusk until dawn.
Further
west, the bustle starts to slip away and soon we reach Estepona,
where the traditions of the old town happily coexist alongside the
new and exciting.
Indeed,
the golf courses along this 50-mile stretch of coast now number
over thirty. This concentration of quality golf courses, coupled
with the unique sunny and warm winter climate of the area, has led
to its becoming a winter golf destination of choice for many. For
those wishing a more snow-filled winter break, skiing on the Sierra
Nevada to the east of Malaga is recommended.
Also
east of Malaga, a popular choice is Nerja, which lies in one of
Spain's richest farming areas and offers a variety of urban and
rural settings plus fine beaches and spectacular views.
Costa
Calida
As
the Costa Blanca becomes more and more developed we are aware
that there are those who seek a more peaceful and relaxing
environment whilst experiencing the wonderful beaches and
scenery that Spain has to offer. We think we have discovered
the ideal location for these people are in the Bay of Mazarron.
Unspoilt
by the holiday masses, this area is still in the early days
of development. It is therefore not overcome with local bars
and restaurants, though these can be found in Puerto de Mazarron
and around the golf course. | Back to top of page |

Golf
The
Costa Blanca is one of the main International golf resorts all year long.
Players can enjoy a fully equipped network of courses with unsurpassed
sports facilities and, what is more, an enviable climate suitable for
the sport with temperatures ranging from 60F in January to 90F in August.
These facts along with the very few rainy days per year have made it one
of Europe's main golf destinations, especially in winter.
All golf resorts have been designed by prestigious golfers like Severiano
Ballesteros or Jose Maria Olazabal. Golf can be played all over the Costa
Blanca coastline, close to great tourist and business resorts.
In all the golf courses there are schools with fully qualified intructors
to teach you how to play golf as well as all related services such as
trolleys, buggies, clubs and practice areas for hire. Also available are
supplementary services like booking points, cafeteria, baby sitting, medical
service, swimming pool, social club, sauna, games rooms, hotel and car
park.

Villamartin. Established for 25 years. This championship golf course was the venue for the P.G.A. Mediterranean Open 1994, an event which attracted such well known golfers as Severiano Ballesteros, Jose Maria Olazabal, Frank Nobilo, Ernie Ells and Howard Clark. Many other competitions also take place, both Pro-Am and amateur and are sponsored by such household names as Mercedes, JB Whisky, Corte Ingles, Audi, Rolex etc. This is the oldest of the three local golf courses and is really breathtaking in its beauty. Playing over undulating fairways to well protected greens, no two holes are alike on this superb course. Villamartin |
Campoamor was opened in 1989 and although not as hazardous as Villamartin, it is the most panoramic of the courses in the region. The expansive fairways, excellent greens and lakes deceive the player somewhat, making this a long and testing course with six "dog legs" to keep you on your toes. The beautiful Club House of Campoamor which has recently been built offers the golfer and local resident bars and restaurant facilities with spectacular views overlooking the lush green fairways.

Bounded by the beautiful Mediterranean on one side and thousands of acres of fruit groves inland, the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful and within moments you can be driving in picturesque open countryside, where you can stop and pick a fresh orange or lemon and enjoy the fabulous bounty that nature has gifted to this part of the world.
On Fridays the town centre of Torrevieja is transformed into a colourful market place. Every week you can find an astounding array of bargains, genuine Spanish handicrafts, leather jackets, gloves, bags, baskets, shoes, pottery, textiles and souvenirs. You may choose from hand-painted pottery jars, beautifully decorated porcelain plates and tablecloths embroidered with that dash of Spanish flair.
