Costa Alzahar:

 This coast located at the North of the Autonomous Community of Valencia, is a land of great contrasts. Indeed, the province has more mountainous areas than flat ones. However, the coastal strip that displays an infinite green carpet that is dotted by orange orchards, the interior is wild. The region is rich in history and monuments, and endowed with extraordinary spots that fortunately remain untouched by man.

Costa Blanca:

It is the Mediterranean coast that corresponds to the province of Alicante. This coast constitutes a great example of what is known as Mediterranean landscape. This destination is very cosmopolitan since you can choose from lively areas to rural ones or enjoy valleys where are laid out vegetable gardens and palm trees keeping alive the Moorish past. The combination of almond tree fields, vineyards, orchards and magnificent palm trees creates a type of vegetation that is unique in Europe.

Costa Cálida:

This coast located in the region of Murica offers a lot of contrasted landscapes to the visitor. Indeed, a short journey of 100 Km between the two most distant points will reveal very different areas. The old fishing towns and the vegetable garden cities will strike you by their beauty and the fertility of the fields and of the great monuments.  The mines, the vegetable gardens and the mountains, along with the coastline, have been its main features throughout a long history full of events that very well could pass for legends.

The Coast of Almería:

On the coast of Almería, you can enjoy popular, modern tourist resorts and natural areas where mankind has barely left its mark.

Costa Tropical:

This coast belongs to the province of Granada. From here to the city of Málaga, you will enjoy the varied landscapes of this rugged coast. There are many monuments inherited from the Arabic to visit on the Costa Tropical. La Rábita is an ideal departure point to visit that area: an old fishing village, well protected by its small fortress and surrounded by farmland. A short distance on, once past the stretch of rocky coastline, we arrive at La Mamola, another fishing village endowed with an extensive beach. From this moment, travellers are entering the most touristy part of the Costa Tropical. The beaches of Poniente, Puerto and Azucenas shape the coast of Motril and are host to a well-known tourist centre. The village, with its narrow, white streets, set at the foot of a hill topped by an Arab castle, is a must. The view from the old fortress stretches over the fertile plain of Guadalfeo, blanketed with sugarcane plantations, as far as Sierra Nevada. Also of great interest is Almuñécar (17 kilometres away), another village crowned by a Muslim castle.

Costa del Sol:

This coast belongs to the province of Malaga and combines all the appeal of the Mediterranean landscape and culture. This coast sheltered by a mountain chain is shaped by a succession of extensive beaches, marinas and anchorage for fishing. The mild climate, infrequency of rainfall and the sea breeze are ideal for its semitropical vegetation in which palm and cypress trees, bougainvilleas, and hibiscus are common. Lively areas and many touristy attractions now coexist within the peaceful atmosphere of country villages, which have astonishingly conserved their traditional town centers. In addition to the folkloric Andalusian displays in the tourist centers, you can also experience the lively and popular celebrations. The fiestas, Easter parades, song contests and the bull runs are musts.

Costa de la Luz:

Costa de la Luz comprises sun and sand. The area is composed of rivers, swamps, estuaries and salt mines. Its name comes from a bright, vivid light that highlights the beauty of its streets, the whitewash of its walls, the golden colors of the dunes and the reflection of the silver sea, the only greyish tint in this land of colour. Inland you will find varied landscapes of wild sierras, fertile countryside, pastures of fighting bulls, world-renowned vineyards and hidden villages where time passes slowly by.
