Costa Blanca

Alicante's coast — Jávea, Moraira, Altea and the south.

The Costa Blanca is Alicante province's long, varied coast: a rocky, green northern stretch around Dénia, Jávea, Moraira and Altea, the city of Alicante at its centre, and a flatter, sunnier south around Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa. What Dominium publishes here is a small, growing selection; most of the coast is worked through relationships and private search.

Lifestyle

The north is villages, coves and hillside villas with a strong Dutch, German and British community and a slower pace; Altea's old town and Jávea's Arenal are its social centres. Alicante brings a real Spanish city with a tram along the coast. The south is about value, sun and golf resorts within easy reach of the airport.
