Guardamar :
Because of the majestic and idyllic beaches created by the motion of sea and wind formed sand dunes, fringed by pine, eucalyptus and palm trees, Guardamar is a desirable destination for permanent living or holiday.
A dozen kilometres of beaches covered by white sand are inviting visitors to bathe in the sun or enjoy a walk along the shores.
The sparkling quality of water is perfect to have a refreshing swim or take a sailing or scuba diving course at the “Marina de las Dunas”, a modern sporting marina with nearly 500 mooring points.
Furthermore you can visit the “Parque Reina Sofia” or “Parque Alfonso XIII” and see an ecosystem perfect for aquatic birds typical to this region, such as the royal heron. Close to the mouth of the river Segura you can trek or cycle through the typical landscape of the Levantine garden.
Guardamar is also a city of colourful processions and celebrations.
There is the carnival procession in February, the holy week processions in April, during July the festivities of the Moors and Christians, which are finishing with the general parade where they present their best gowns in order to interpret dances, sword fights, with horses, camels and coaches.
At the end of August the famous Paella competition is taking place and during the Christmas holidays the Council of Festivities celebrates an exhibition of Nativity scenes.
At Christmas Eve the Christmas parade takes place, in which Father Christmas is delivering toys.
The days of Christmas are crowned with the Kings´ Cavalcade, after which the Magicians initiate their nocturnal journey to visit all the homes of the municipality.
