Car hire therefore, although not totally essential, is recommended. [See sidebar for more “car hire” information] Reliable bus services are available for those wanting a holiday from the car.

The virtually year-round presence of the sun, combined with a climate to be envied, where the average temperature is some 20 degrees, means that one can swim and practise other types of water sports at any time of the year.

Sightseeing:

These days the town is moving up-market with all types of theme parks. Closer to La Marina there are several Water Parks which make an excellent day out, especially for the children. locally, Santa Pola is famous for it’s vast salt lakes and a protected nature reserve, which is home to thousands of species of birds.

Traditional Spain:

The whole Costa Blanca is considered to be “old” Spain and is still a long way off the traditional holiday routes. Away from the beaches and only a few miles inland you can travel through small towns and villages virtually untouched by tourism. Anyone who has experienced a local village or town in it’s fiesta season will know of the excitement, colour and spectacle – the music, singing, dancing, drinking and eating which follows the procession of villagers in traditional costume and regalia. The whole place comes to a standstill with everyone made welcome.On the road, castles and churches and historic buildings are everywhere, you can witness the true culture of Spain in the skills and crafts of Spanish workmen. As you pass acres and acres of Lemon and Orange groves, vineyards full of grapes, field upon field of Almond trees and terraces of Olive bushes you’ll see how Spain is both very old. . . yet very modern.
