1. Privileged location and favorable climate

The Costa Blanca – the term given to the Mediterranean coast that runs through the province of Alicante – stretches for 244 kilometres, from Dénia in the north to Pilar de la Horadada in the south.

Costa Blanca features some of the most beautiful landscapes.

Located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, it offers a landscape that fills its coastline with light and turquoise waters.
The hours of sunshine it receives throughout the year make it one of the main centres of interest for many national and international tourists looking to spend their summer holidays.

The Costa Blanca is adjacent to the north of the Costa Cálida (Murcia), and south of Costa de Valencia. The Coast has a highly developed tourist infrastructure with two airports, roads, trains, very good communications, a complete road map that comfortably links all the main municipalities of the coast.

Charming towns

From the Costa Blanca we can highlight internationally known municipalities such as Denia, Jávea, Moraira, Benissa, Calpe, Altea, Benidorm, Benitatxell, Villajoyosa, Santa Pola, and without forgetting the municipalities on the southern Costa Blanca such as Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa, Guardamar, La Mata.

Municipalities that treasure one of the most beautiful and charming environments of the Spanish Mediterranean.

The Weather is Absolutely Bliss

The climate of Costa Blanca (Alicante) is recognized by the World Health Organization as one of the best on Earth. Because of its balanced annual temperature. Not too hot in summer and not too cold in winter. The territory of Costa Blanca has its own comfortable microclimate.

With an average temperature of 19°C throughout the year, the summer months can see averages rise to 32°C and over 320 sunny days a year. While the month in which it has the highest rainfall of the year is October, approximately 7 days of rain.

One of the advantages to moving in Costa Blanca is that weather planning is rarely a problem because the weather is almost always beautiful.
I can’t emphasize how wonderful it is to live in a sunny place. I use to live in places, where rain, looming grey skies, and continuous fog dominated my plans. There is no comparison!!

So, if you’re looking to relocate to Costa Blanca to escape the dreary winters and single-digit cold, you won’t be disappointed.

World Class Beaches

Here you will have an infinity of beaches to explore that play an essential role in everyday life on the Costa Blanca.

The coast has almost 250 km of splendid beaches, cliffs, small coves and bays with crystal clear waters.

An interesting fact is that the country with the most Blue Flag beaches, according to the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), is Spain, which has 614 flags for 2022. The FEE is an international voluntary program that requires beaches to adhere to strict criteria regarding water quality, environmental management, accessibility, and education.

And Costa Blanca it is the coast with the most Blue Flags in all of Spain. The province of Alicante has obtained a total of 81 blue flags for its beaches and marinas.

The beaches of Costa Blanca are arguably some of the best in Spain. Along the coast, you can experience the different beach scenes, such as the fascinating cliffs of Serra Gelada, where tourists and locals go to watch the sunsets every night, or the impressive salty Pink Lagoons in La Mata, Torrevieja.

Other great beaches include Playa del Arenal in Javea, Les Marines beach in Denia, Playa Flamenca, Poniente and Levante in Benidorm, La Gran playa de Santa Pola, Orihuela Costa’s Cala Capitan, Alicante’s San Juan Beach among many more.

In short, between the warm weather and the paradisiacal beaches, Costa Blanca fits perfectly for a healthy, active and outdoor lifestyle. With many water sports, golf clubs and leisure activities available throughout the year.

2. Numerous Outdoor Activities

Outdoor activity was a major lure for me, and it played a significant role in my decision for moving to Costa Blanca. After years of living on the coast, I’m still astounded by the variety of outdoor activities available.

There’s never a shortage of recreational options—in fact, I was startled to hear that many of my coworkers start their days by surfing before going to work.

After all, how many other cities allow you to surf before starting your workday?
If surfing isn’t your thing, there are lots of other activities to pick from, such as biking, hiking, fishing, snorkelling, and many more.

Costa Blanca is also a benchmark and surely a tiny piece of paradise for golf fans, with its comfortable climate, magnificent vistas, and lovely surroundings.

3. High life expectancy

Here I will show you the statistics of the countries in the world with the highest life expectancy. I think it is an important fact, and apart from being a measure that summarizes the mortality of a country, its interpretation can supply us with important information about a country’s welfare state’s progress.

According to research, life expectancy is influenced by many key life factors. For example, environment, nutrition, exercise, adequate health care, lifestyle and culture are important determinants of life expectancy.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the current global life expectancy is 72 years.

With an average life expectancy of 83.6 years, Spain is in third place, after Switzerland, with an average age of 83.8 years. Japan is the country with the longest life expectancy with an average age of 84.1 years.

“Mens Sana in Corpore Sano”

Nutrition and environmental factors have a big role in Spain’s long life expectancy. The Spanish eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, as well fresh fish and grains. There are several investigations that relate the Mediterranean diet to a longer life expectancy, exist many studies that defend the benefits of this kind of food to combat heart disease, strokes and other disabilities.

4. Gastronomy & Mediterranean Diet

The cuisine scene in Costa Blanca is broader and more exclusive than most people think and there are facts that prove it.

Having one or more Michelin stars means that a restaurant is not only one of the best in its country but also one of the best in the world. The province of Alicante has currently achieved a total of 16 Michelin Stars distributed among 12 restaurants. Well done!

Socially, the local landscape boasts an abundance of restaurants and bars offering world-class dining and nightlife. We could rave about the excellent Spanish cuisine for the rest of this essay.

Here you can enjoy delectable tapas, fresh seafood, jam. I’ve been able to locate excellent ramen, sushi, Thai food. But there’s no denying that Paella takes the cake.

You can drink a glass of Spanish wine or a caña to wash down the food. Another typical dish is Tortilla Española which is a simple potato dish served in little typical bars where cured hams hang from the ceiling. Delicious…

Politically, the country enjoys a greater sense of stability. This is due to a multi-party system that has been in place since the early 1990s.

The tourism sector is especially important to the country’s economy.
