Sandy beaches, low dunes and humid areas are varied by rocks, steep coasts and very dry zones is what the mind brings to the fore when thinking of Spain. The impressive northern and central areas, crossed by high mountain chains run through out the edge of the sea where the capes of La Nao and of San Antonio are located.
The southern part of the Costa Blanca is on the other hand an area of plains and hills floated by the river the Segura that flows in to the sea in the middle of dunes and low cliffs. This Costa runs from Denia to Pilar de la Horadada with its Capital Alicante and is one of the most important destinations of Europe.
Thanks to the landscape, the infra-structure, the beautiful cities and the friendly people the Costa Blanca has very crowded activities for tourists with all the facilities.
