Climate and health.:
There are very few rainy days between November and March, during which time you can expect blue skies and temperatures in the low to mid 20's ( tee shirts and shorts weather!). According to the World Health Organisation this area of the Costa Blanca has got the healthiest climate in Europe.
All year round a great place to spend the day is at Lo Pogon where there is the largest open-air mudbath in Europe. These baths known as Las Charcas de las Salinas are famous for curing rheumatic ailments. In the spring and summer months the days are consistently hot and sunny with the occasional welcome cloudy day.
