The light of this region has given the Coast its name; a white light,
transparent, brilliant but not dazzling,
which was previously appreciated by its first settlers: Alicante, the capital,
was Akra Leuka for the Greeks (white
citadel) and Lucentum for the Romans (city of light).
This region of Spain boasts 325 sunny days each year with temperatures ranging
from an average of 16°
centigrade in winter, to 32° centigrade in summer, which ensure that you are
able to enjoy life to the full. The
Northern Costa Blanca, where the mountains meet the sea, offers some of the
most breathtaking scenery in the
whole of Spain. The area is full of lush vegetation with citrus, almond and
olive groves growing in abundance.
The region is shielded from the colder winter winds of the interior by these
mountain ranges. Because of
these attributes the area is acknowledged by the World Health Authority as one
of the healthiest areas in the world
to live today.

The picturesque town of Dénia
The pretty town of Dénia dates back to the 4th Century B.C. and is named after
the goddess Diana by the
Romans, lying between the mountains and long sandy beaches. High on the hill
overlooking the town is a 17th century
Moorish castle. Dénia maintains its old traditions with its colourful fish and
vegetable market. Walk around the old
quarter and discover an authentic Moorish-Spanish atmosphere in its narrow
cobbled streets.
The beaches to the North of Dénia are in total contrast to the beaches in the
South. "Las Marinas" in the
North is a 14.5 km long stretch of fine, sandy beaches offering differing
facilities that provide everything needed for
a relaxing holiday soaking up the sun. There is a large selection of bars and
restaurants catering for all tastes and
budgets along the length of this stretch of coast. The South stretch of coast
consists mainly of residential areas
including some very large villas. This coastline is a paradise for scuba
diving. The Montgó Natural Reserve forms a
dramatic backdrop to the South coast of Dénia.
Walk through the arched canopy of trees that line the main cosmopolitan avenue
of Dénia, Marqués de Campo and relax with the locals in one of the pavement
cafés and restaurants or do a bit of shopping in the extensive range of
exclusive boutiques.
"Las Rotas" to the South of Dénia is a series of rocky beaches
and coves, which can be very dramatic and spectacular.

touristic interest.
