Guardamar del Segura, population 12,500 is a typical Spanish holiday resort, situated South of Alicante on the Costa Blanca. The weekly, Wednesday street market attracts lots of people, tourists and locals alike. The locally produced fruit and vegetables and locally manufactured leather goods are excellent value for money. Between the town and the beach is the enormous. 'Queen Sofia' park, thick with trees and plants, where visitors can enjoy cool, refreshing strolls even on the hottest of days. To beautify the natural surroundings, ponds with Terrapins, waterfowl and samples of aquatic fauna have been added. More than 800 hectares of coastal parkland have been carefully preserved, with hundreds of monumental dunes, pine, palm and eucalyptus trees, which were planted at the beginning of the 20th century to prevent the dunes from invading the urban area. For the more energetic of you there is a public leisure centre where you can enjoy tennis or swimming plus other activities.
