waves.
The best area in the Costa Blanca is the one between Denia and Benidorm.
DENIA,
the city at the foot of the "Montgó" mountain,
which can be seen in the distance, as well as a castle of Islamic
origin in ruins. It has got a very lively shopping street, Marqués
de Campo, and a lot of cafés and shops, long beaches
and an intersection point to travel to Mallorca.

light from the Mediterranean sea which makes the white cities and
towns and the clean beaches shine.
THE PEOPLE
A welcoming and attractive country, where people takes care of nature
nicely and as they are cosmopolitan.
Foreigners influenced these people in the past,
so Spaniards in the Costa Blanca have a very open nature, very strong
traditions and they manifestly like children.
During the whole year some famous festivals take
place. It’s worth visiting them and seeing the great participation
of the citizens.
NATURE AND SEA
A rich variety of landscapes, with high mountains, wide valleys
and deep ravines. There are many nature reserves in this special
region. Its agriculture consists in olive trees, almond trees, grapes
and wine. Oranges, lemons and other fruits along with vegetables
and rice, are the main source of income.
The sea, with its richness of fish and underwater
flora, attracts lots of visitors each year. The perfect place for
any kind of water sports, sand beaches, underwater grasslands (Posidonia)
and rocky areas which make this region very interesting.
Fishing is, in some places along the coastline,
very important.
