LOCAL AREA INFORMATION FOR THE NORTHERN COSTA BLANCA IN SPAIN

Most visitors and residents alike are attracted to the northern part of the Costa Blanca.

This is an area of exceptional natural beauty, punctuated by intended rocky coves and bays, clean white gold beaches, dramatic cliffs, quaint Mediterranean villages and green fertile valleys. It is a land of contrasts quite different to anything you will see anywhere on the coasts anywhere in the world.

The sun shines almost all year round with the region enjoying an enviable average daily temperature of 20 degrees (in the summer this may reach up to 40 degrees). This allows for swimming, water sports, and golf in any season. The world authority describes the climate as one of the most environmentally perfect climates in the world, and it feels like it was created for outdoor living. Jávea more specifically is said to have one of the healthiest climate in the world.

Recreation is also more than adequately catered for with luxury marinas, nightlife, golf, water sports, and restaurants. Good food is essential to the northern Costa Blanca's way of life. Every taste is catered for and this region has gained a reputation for exceptional cuisine. The Northern Costa Blanca has a diversity that has captured the hearts of many visitors. The hustle & bustle and drama of the coast sits in with the complete contrast of the tranquillity and tradition of the countryside just a few kilometres inland. This quality of life is incomparable in Europe.

It's not only the perfect weather that attracts people from other areas of Spain and from all over the world to the Costa Blanca. The sea, beaches, beautiful nature of its mountains and the many leisure possibilities are also an important reason why people decide to make this area their home. The Costa Blanca has also been a holiday favourite for many years. The coast is lined with many beautiful 'blue flag' beaches, most of which have lifeguards on duty during the high seasons, offering facilities like beach bars and restaurants, toilets, showers, children's play areas and even crèches.
