There are three international airports on the Costa Blanca: Valencia, Alicante and San Javier (Murcia). Daily flights are available from Alicante airport to most major European airports. In addition, there is a modern, easily accessible road network and three maritime ports (at Valencia, Denia and Alicante).

A beautiful coastal area of southern Spain, the Costa Blanca or 'white coast' is an extremely popular region, not least because of its wonderfully varied landscape and excellent climate. Property prices, as elsewhere in Spain, have shown strong growth in recent years and the market remains buoyant, making this a great area to invest in a second home or a holiday property.

The Costa Blanca is an area of fascinating contrasts. From magnificent mountain ranges to beautiful beaches with acres of space, from large cosmopolitan beach resorts to small, untouched Spanish villages. It's all here, basking in what is reputed to be the finest climate in Europe, enjoying an average of 300 days of sunshine per year.
