Omdat de Costa Blanca een populaire bestemming is, is er veel informatie over de regio te vinden. Het is onmogelijk om alles op onze website te vermelden. Natuurlijk posten we onze favorieten, lokale hotspots en de beste tips en tricks.

De Costa Blanca is grofweg in te delen in twee delen: Costa Blanca zuid en Costa Blanca noord. Onze verblijven zijn in het noorden van de Costa Blanca, die zich uitstrekt van Alicante tot aan Dénia. De Costa Blanca noord bestaat uit verschillende kleinere regio's, zoals de Marina Alta.

De Marina Alta wordt begrensd door Calp in het zuiden en Dénia in het noorden. Het gaat landinwaarts tot aan Vall de Gallinera en Vall de Pop. Een kleine regio dus maar genoeg te doen. Je vindt er ongerepte stranden, ongerepte natuur en typisch Spaanse dorpjes. De regio staat ook bekend om zijn gastronomie, handwerk en lokale tradities.

Een kort overzicht waar u toeristische informatie over de Marina Alta kunt vinden:

Wanneer je een verblijf bij ons boekt, helpen we je graag met gepersonaliseerde aanbevelingen. Als u toeristische informatie wilt over bijvoorbeeld de Marina Alta, een bijzondere regio of speciaal met kinderen, dan kunnen wij een reis op maat voor u maken. Ook voor de leukste restaurants, winkeladressen of wat te doen op een regenachtige dag.

Autohuur Costa Blanca

PRACTICAL, TRAVEL COSTA BLANCA

Autohuur is de beste optie om de Costa Blanca te ontdekken, aangezien het openbaar vervoer beperkt is. Om problemen te voorkomen - wat altijd de grootste zorg is bij het huren van een auto - raden we aan om 'fair fuel policy' en 'excess cover' als optie te kiezen. Zonder excess cover is het eigen risico aanzienlijk.

Vergeet niet te kiezen voor ‘ophalen in terminal’, om er zeker van te zijn dat u de auto kunt ophalen in de aankomsthal. En last but not least … zorg ervoor dat de creditcard waarmee u boekt, die van de chauffeur is. Anders krijg je de auto misschien niet mee.

Enkele goede opties zijn Easy Terra, een online platform. Over het algemeen bieden zij de beste tarieven; vooral als je van tevoren boekt. Twee andere opties zijn Giner cars in Benissa of Victoria Cars. Ze hebben vaak goede tarieven voor een tweede chauffeur en andere opties. Ze bieden allemaal een ophaalservice vanaf de luchthaven van Valencia en de luchthaven van Alicante.

Travel from and to the Costa Blanca is easy. The region got 3 main airports where you can fly to: Alicante-Elche airport, Murcia airport and Valencia airport. Alicante is the closest one and mostly the cheapest one as it receives many charter flights. But it might be worth to check out Valencia as well, as they got low rates at certain periods as well.
