With over 200 km (124 mi) of sandy beaches and tranquil waters, Costa Blanca is one of Europe’s most popular vacation destinations. The modern seaside resorts of this sun-warmed coastline draw over 6 million visitors each year. But while Costa Blanca’s beaches dip right into the crystal clear Mediterranean Sea, deeper inland, verdant valleys and charming villages buzz with traditional Spanish cultural attractions. The entire region is blessed with stunning natural wonders, which include hidden coves, underwater caves, and dense forests. Its grand mountain ranges provide a vivid backdrop for ancient villages, offering plenty of authentic color to be explored.

Costa del Sol travel guide

4.2
Nightlife · Landmarks · Marinas
Costa del Sol, literally translated as the "Coast of the Sun," stretches for over 150 km (93 mi) along the Mediterranean Sea. This coastline is home to numerous beach resorts, many of which are considered among Europe’s finest holiday destinations. Benefiting from a temperate climate, this region is one of the ideal places to visit for sailing, diving, or simply enjoying a dip in the sea and relaxing on the sand. Though urbanized and always packed with visitors from around the world, this coast retains numerous tiny coves and off-the-beaten-track bays where visitors eager to escape the crowds can lose themselves. Warm sands and gentle waters may be the main attraction, but the many seaside restaurants offer culinary delights, as well.
