Costa Blanca is simply Golf Heaven. It is not just the spectacular and rather humbling scenery in every direction that inspires and excites, but the overabundance of world class golf courses peppering the Coast truly makes the Costa Blanca one of the most desirable golfing vacation destinations in the world. You can hardly put your finger down on a map of the Costa Blanca without hitting a golf course, or sometimes even two depending on the size of your finger! There are over 20 courses of all sizes, suitable for all levels of expertise and temperaments, out of which 12 are listed as among the best in Europe, if not the world.

"The Costa Blanca is More" – is the slogan of the Provincial Patronato de Tourism, and they couldn't have said it better. What they mean is that there is more on offer here than you can even imagine. Blue flag beaches abound, offering all modes of water-sports. Some beaches are lined with palm-lined promenades, cafes, bars, restaurants, gift shops, and other curiosity shops where you can spend hours. Then there are the health spas and the healing mud baths of San Javier and Mar Menor. Another fun activity would be browsing the local markets on the various Market days where there's no saying what you may find.

Historical Wonders - Other than the golf, the spas, the water sports, the theme parks, and the shopping, you also have the sense of awe afforded by the architectural gems that hark back to magnificent periods in history. Castles, Cathedrals, Forts, and Towers exist amid natural wonders and majestic mountain ranges. Every province has its own museums of arts and archaeology where you get a pretty good understanding of the awesome sense of history the place holds.

Hot Spots – The entire Costa Blanca has been taken up by tourism to varying degrees. While provinces like Moraira are unscathed, those such as Benidorm are devoted entirely to the trade. Benidorm is the ideal place to pitch tent if you are on a family vacation. Besides being surrounded by golf courses, there's also the Aqualandia Water Amusement Park, Mundomar Marine Exotic Animal Park and the ever popular Terra Mitica said to have the wildest rides in Europe. Puerto Banus is another hot spot with its night golfing, and an enchanting marina.

World-Class Dining - Cuisine from all over the world vies with the delicious local dishes. The flavours and aroma of Pescaito Frito, Boquerones in Vinagre, and of course the ubiquitous Paella, will stay with you long after you have left the Costa Blanca. There are also a remarkable number of British and Indian restaurants, and also some Chinese eateries.

Getting around from Coast to Coast – Costa Blanca has a very good local transport network, but having said that, to fully appreciate what the Costa Blanca has to offer, you'll do well to hire a car. You can book your hire car in advance at visiting
