Costa Blanca region in Alicante, Spain encompasses a 200 kilometers long strip of white-sanded beaches that go through six cities along the Mediterranean. The British and Germans tend to love coming to this region for a fun and relaxing holiday in the sun. Each of the cities that form Costa Blanca has something to offer for visitors. That’s why I have listed the best cities and towns to visit in Costa Blanca, Alicante.
