Costa Blanca Info:
The area is known for its year round temperate climate, and is reputedly one of the healthiest places to live. The area has undergone dramatic improvements in recent years, particularly so with the addition of a new motorway, the AP7. This means that the many towns and villages along the cost, including San Pedro del Pinatar, Santa Pola, Cartagena, Murcia, Elche and Alicante, are now within easy reach. Further north is the popular resort of Benidorm, worth a look particularly if you have children who will undoubtedly enjoy its Theme Parks, beaches and lively atmosphere. Further south is the famous La Manga Strip (not for the feint hearted!), approximately 40 minutes by car.
Golf Info:
Within 15 minutes drive are the courses of Campoamor, Villa Martin and Las Ramblas. Slightly closer are the courses of La Marquesa and La Finca. Further south at La Manga is the world famous Golf Resort (approx 40 mins drive). Most courses are 18-hole, and tee times can be booked in advance by telephone. It may be as well to check the dress code and handicap requirements before setting off, as this can vary from course to course. Clubs and buggies can be hired on-course.
Car Hire Info:
There are many car hire companies in the area, which can be researched easily using the internet. However, we would recommend Centauro, good rates apply and it is advisable to book in advance, particularly in high-season.
