Costa Blanca is in the province of Alicante. It consists of around 200 km of Mediterranean coastline though its borders aren't strictly defined. To the north it includes the popular resorts of Gandia, Javea and Denia and to the south it extends to the development of Torrevieja (which marks the beginning of the Costa Calida).
Alicante is the capital and major city on this stretch of coast, but it is Benidorm that attracts the most visitors and this is the place to go for those looking for a lively and entertaining holiday with hundreds of bars and all-night clubs catering mainly for British tourists. However there is more to the Costa Blanca than crowded beach resorts - within the mountainous interior are a series of fascinating medieval towns and fortified villages which have been largely unaffected by modern development.
As you would expect golf courses on the Costa Blanca are excellent, offering a variety of designs from the rugged LasRamblas to the renowned Villamartin and the La Manga luxury resort.
