Spain-Costa Blanca North

The North Costa Blanca range covers an area from Alicante to Denia. Most of our sales activity is around the towns of Javea, Moraira, Calpe, Altea and Benitachell, through to the inland valleys of Jalon, Orba, Parcent, Sagra, Tormos.
The Costa Blanca offers an enormous range of facilities, including 9 & 18 hole golf courses at Altea, Moraira, Javea and Denia. Tennis championships are held at the Tosalet Club, Javea and at San Jaime Golf Club in Moraira. Yacht Marinas at Javea, Moraira and Calpe all have first class facilities. A wide range of other sports and activities are available, including horse-riding, windsurfing, water-skiing, dinghy sailing and yachting, deep sea fishing, snorkeling and swimming pools.
Situated on the Eastern coast of Spain, the Costa Blanca has the best all year round climate, with temperatures ranging from 16°C (61°F) in January to around 32°C (90°F) in August.
The hillside around the Costa Blanca has been cultivated as terraced vineyards for generations by the farming community and the area has extensive orange, lemon and olive groves. In the spring there is a mass of beautiful almond blossom. Spain is the second most mountainous country, which gives protection from the winter winds.
Alicante in the South and Valencia in the North, are the main airports serving the Costa Blanca. Regular flights are available from all UK airports and facilities are easily available from Alicante or Valencia. There are ferries to France, with access to Spain via an excellent motorway network.
Orba Valley

Orba takes its name from the valley in which it lies. It is a small village of around 1,500 inhabitants and apart from the local colour, it offers a range of services: restaurants, bars, shops, a chemist, 24 hour medical services, schools, sports facilities and every other facility for the enjoyment of life, in this beautiful part of Spain. Being a fertile valley, with a mild climate and good water, the air is pervaded by the unique scent of orange blossom from the extensive groves.
On the edge of the valley are Tormos, Rafol and Benidoleig, villages of between 200 and 500 inhabitants, in which the crowds, noise and bustle of the coastal areas are inconceivable, yet which are close enough to provide beautiful views of the Mediterranean and from which the beaches can be reached in hardly more than a few minutes.
A combination of sea and mountain, where everything is close at hand, with a healthy, invigorating aroma and atmosphere, without the dampness of the coastal areas.
Jalon Valley

A little deeper into the Costa Blanca is the Jalon Valley, renowned for the production of excellent table wines, harvested from the local vineyards. There are a number of wine cellars (Bodegas) that produce and market wine, while at the same time serving as a compulsory stopping off place for the visitor and tourist, who can go inside and soak up the atmosphere, among the great wine barrels of seasoned wood. Popular with painters and writers alike and with a unique indigenous architecture, carefully preserved to satisfy the visitor eager to know the essence of true Mediterranean villages. Another of the attractions of Jalon is its 'Rastro' or flea-market, one of the largest on the Costa Blanca.
Moraira

Moraira lies in a bay on the South Eastern coast of Spain, between the larger resorts of Javea and Calpe, 80 kms (1hr) from Alicante airport and 110 kms (1.5hrs) from Valencia airport with excellent motorway and coastal roads from both. The town has pleasantly grown from a small fishing village to an attractive holiday and retirement resort, retaining its considerable charm that attracts visitors from all over Europe and is particularly popular with Spanish from Madrid and Valencia. It has an impressive marina, excellent variety of local shops, weekly open markets, harbour side fish restaurants and bars, still retaining their Spanish character.
The two main local gently-shelving sandy beaches, awarded the prestigious EEC Blue Flags for cleanliness, are well tended and very safe for family bathing. In fact, the whole of the Costa Blanca has 34 Blue Flag beaches - 3 times the number of any other Costa (Costa del Sol has 8). Other local facilities include 3 large golf courses, tennis, football, squash, all water sports, boat hire and trips, horse-riding, go-kart racing tracks for both adults and children, a small fairground and three good night-clubs for all ages. There are too many restaurants of interest and good quality to list here, but we can mention that there are 8 Michelin recommended restaurants in the immediate area, with three of them being star-rated and inexpensive.
Calpe

Calpe is located in the Spanish region of Alicante on the Costa Blanca. The town is steeped in history and offers a wealth of culture - yet this ancient fishing port has comfortably married its centuries old past, with the demands of modern day tourism. Calpe is a mixture of high rise beachside buildings, geared to the needs of the 21st century tourist and charming, narrow medieval streets, bearing the hallmarks of a bygone age.
With its ideal location, near perfect climate and many attractions, Calpe has proved a magnet for foreign tourists and homeowners alike. Thousands of British and German visitors have come here for a short visit...and never returned to their native land!
Altea

Altea glories in its unique location, poised within a luminous space on the shores of the Mediterranean, surrounded by the Sierra Bernia mountains and dominating the bay of Altea.
Altea has all the modern facilities, providing a yacht harbour to meet sporting leisure needs, the Don Cayo golf course, and nearby is the luxury residential development of Altea Hills, there is an excellent choice of quality restaurants and only 20 minutes away is the theme park of Terra Mitica, where there is another 18 hole golf course planned.
There are a selection of apartments, town houses and detached villas available in Altea Hills, which overlook the town of Altea. There will be a wide variety of house types in this exclusive urbanisation, with communal swimming pools and gardens
Denia

The town of Denia is situated south of the Gulf of Valencia. Its well balanced position between the two largest towns in the region, Valencia and Alicante, both with their own international airport, makes Denia ideal from a holiday commuter standpoint.
Denia surrounds the busy fishing port, with tree lined avenues, pavement cafes, bars and restaurants, offering a wide range of gastronomic delights. With its excellent all round climate, plus every required facility, such as international schools, modern hospitals and medical facilities, varied beaches from vast sandy beaches to rocky coves, making Denia an ideal area to live in.
Javea

The town of Javea is located in the Spanish region of Alicante on the Costa Blanca. This popular resort is often referred to as the 'Jewel in the Crown' of the Costa Blanca and easy to see why. The World Health Organisation once named it as having one of the healthiest climates in the world, enjoying more recorded hours of sunshine per year than any other place in Spain.
The streets in the old town of Javea are well worth exploring and here you will find a magnificent fortified Gothic church (San Bartolome) and a very good museum, which explains the history of the coast from Paleolithic times through Iberian, Roman and Medieval times, (Museo Etnografico 'Soler Blasco').
Thousands of British people have been on holiday to Javea, fallen in love with it and decided to make it their permanent home. It's certainly not one of Spain's biggest tourist centres - but Javea offers a high quality holiday for visitors of all ages.
Situated midway between Valencia and Alicante airports (about an hour drive from each if you use the toll paying motorway, makes Javea easily accessible but never inundated by holidaymakers.
