Costa Blanca:
Costa Blanca may be enjoyed through all seasons with its year round sunshine and blue flag beaches. The area south of Alicante is renowned for its mild climate and is recognised by the World Health Organisation as one of the healthiest areas in the world. Less than 20 minutes away by car is the bustling Spanish Town of Torrevieja which is steeped in Spanish history and tradition whilst its numerous shops, cafes, bars and restaurants cater for all tastes. There are daily street markets within easy driving distance - with everything from fresh food to clothing and souveniers: all at local prices.
Villamartin:
The urbanisation of Villamartin has been designed with relaxation in mind. 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. A short drive to La Zenia (10 minutes) will take you to two much larger, well-stocked supermarkets. The MERCADONA and LIDL’s come well recommended for price and value.
Golf:
Golf VillaMartin is a championship golf course, laid down in the late 70s by Pat Putnam, with a further two championship golf courses, Las Ramblas and La Finca within a 10 minute drive. All courses are 18 holes and green fees are about €45 (reductions for couples). Golf carts are available for about €20-25.
Golf VillaMartin is just 10 minutes walk from the apartment, and with its year round sunshine is a treat for golf enthusiasts seeking relief from the rigours of the British winter!
