The Costa Blanca, which, you know, translates to “White Coast,” very offers sun-soaked beaches, that captivating scenery, and just a load of opportunities for little, enjoyable getaways. If you’re, like, hanging around Alicante, Benidorm, or somewhere along the coast, it’s almost like taking some of these trips is basically something you should do. You get it? So, whether you’re interested in history, want scenery that is super good, or you want to check out charming Spanish towns, I’ve put together the ultimate, kinda perfect list of Costa Blanca excursions, which you might like to check out. That is really helpful when getting the most from your trip, actually!

1. Altea: The Whitewashed Wonder

Just a little drive up the coast from Benidorm sits Altea, yet very is quite different. Basically, Altea has kept some, kind of original old-world character. It’s hard not to like. So, when you show up, get lost kind of wandering all over, just really enjoying those pretty, little whitewashed buildings all covered in bougainvillea. They almost look unreal, which is something that may or may not interest you! You will climb your way to the top of the Church of Our Lady of Consolation, also known as “La Mare de Déu del Consol” by those who are local. It has those, just kinda striking blue-tiled domes, offering up views that could make your jaw drop.

You really should browse some small little shops where local artists actually sell their wares. Actually, if you want unique ceramics or paintings or whatever, this place basically lets you take a little bit of Altea home with you. It has restaurants, of course, like by the waterfront, and the fish, that’s worth grabbing, that is actually from that local sea, there. In some respects, you can have a paella with just about any restaurant you come across that basically is right on the beach. How neat is that? I would take in the environment.

2. Guadalest: A Village Carved into Stone

Just a bit away inland and higher up inside mountains sits Guadalest, you get that vibe? Yet, that is probably something people always wanna get up to is view one thing when you are far above the top. So, it’s, like, basically in one of those castles or fortresses which they used a thousand years ago to hold that line against anyone attempting to attack. More or less, the route to it is a beautiful drive. You basically see great scenery that just sort of grows better and better as you rise in that altitude. See how pretty it basically shows nature! You’ve only been there, so this is like nothing at all in comparison.

There is Guadalest castle, almost set right directly into the rocky cliffs, you can view the valley that is located below. Very, very picturesque in every direction! Typically, this city has museums such as the Micro-Gigantic Museum, or it may even be a Medieval History Museum, I am just supposing that the name isn’t accurate. Even if you are very little interested in these topics, yet the weird little nature from these museums just might be interesting to explore just to discover more of that region’s personality and story.

What really steals your attention is Castillo de la Atalaya. Actually, that is kind of that huge, very well kept fortress. You, like your mind goes crazy, basically thinking of it. Thinking of its Arabic roots. Just remember though when walking those historical grounds that old monarchs and wars were had on that territory. Very insane! Like just think about that history that has influenced you.

Villena, very is famous too for the treasure called, well, treasure de Villena. More or less, this awesome bunch of artifacts which goes back to the Bronze Age basically is at that Villena Archaeological Museum. Clearly, this might please you, this awesome group consisting of several things like bowls, jewelry, and cool other artifacts which basically gives that insight into, kinda into just the people that stayed right in the field sometime earlier. In the area too is some regional wine. It is worth looking for! Do get this regional richness because this is worth, just about, looking in more!

Just really the great clearness on that water and being kind to many water based life, which includes sea birds!

If I were visiting, then, first and foremost I would basically grab up some stuff from snorkeling! That has almost perfect water for that snorkeling stuff! Besides that, if one prefers staying onto ground instead of actually swimming around everywhere, just go see pretty shores over somewhere or chill over with that old, historical little village inside Tabarca; people may feel as if those villages come with its walls because sometime earlier individuals planned getting protected from the invaders by using them!
