The Costa Blanca:
The 'white coast' is famous for its wonderful climate, all year round. Even the Spanish claim that local inhabitants live up to 10 years longer than in the rest of Spain! It is named after the wonderful almond blossom that is the first of the year and is a beautiful sight in January through to March.
Facilities have improved dramatically in the last few years, particularly with the addition of motorway routes directly into the area & the growth of excellent, all-year round, golf clubs.
Anyone who is looking to buy a property in the area should let me know at time of booking as I can arrange for an inspection of properties (new or resale) during your stay, through an English speaking local company, at no extra cost!
The Local Area:
The wonderful plaza at Villa Martin is walking distance from the villa and is renowned for its resident parrots but more importantly for the abundance of good eating and drinking places.
Within 10 minutes drive from the villa is the lovely beach of Campoamor with the quiet beaches of la Zenia & Cabo Roig a further 5 minutes drive away.
The villa is within 2 Km of the N332 road at the Southern end of Torrevieja. Several supermarkets are only 5 minutes walk away. There is a large hypermarket (Carrefour) less than 15 minutes drive away.
The water park in Torrevieja is a favourite attraction for families & younger visitors. There are several Go-Kart tracks in the area, which are excellent fun & entertainment for all ages.
A little further afield the renowned resort of Benidorm is well worth a visit as there are lots of places of interest for the tourist.
Information for Golfers:
Close by is the Villamartin Championship Golf Course, which has an abundance of olive trees and well placed bunkers to make it a challenging course for players of all abilities. If that was not enough to tempt the golfers, within 5 mins drive there are two more! Las Ramblas which is a stunning, but short course and is most challenging. High trees, natural fairways and ravines feature strongly in this memorable course. Finally we have Campoamor, which is situated, in two valleys with magnificent views and with a beautiful clubhouse to finish off the day! It is important to know that no handicap is required for these local courses. For the hard to please a 30 min drive further south will bring you to La Manga the world famous golf resort with three 18-hole courses to choose from. So bring your handicap card (just in case)as well as plenty of sunscreen. What more can the enthusiastic golfer ask for!
