Costa Blanca:
The Costa Blanca beaches may be enjoyed throughout the seasons with year round sunshine and blue flag beaches. The area south of Alicante is renowned for its dry, mild climate which is why the World Health Organisation recognise it as one of the healthiest areas in the world. Torrevieja, a typical bustling Spanish town, is 10-15 minutes away by car. It retains much of its traditional Spanish atmosphere, whilst its shops, cafes, bars and restaurants cater for all tastes. Enjoy a stroll along the palm-lined promenade and harbour board-walk at any time of year. There are street markets within easy driving distance on just about every day of the week - with everything from fresh food to clothing and souvenirs, all at local prices.
Villamartin:
The urbanisation of Villamartin has been designed to provide a relaxing atmosphere with many green areas, communal swimming pools and sea views. The golf club is right next to the Plaza with its many bars and restaurants, a small supermarket, a bank, and shops. There is a car rental office, with reasonable prices. Within a short drive (at La Zenia) are two much larger, well-stocked supermarkets. There are many fine beaches only a short distance away.
