Calpe, Benissa and Moraira villas at the Costa Blanca
There is no better place to rent Costa Blanca Villas than between Calpe, Benissa and Moraira. All year long, it is green, and still there is not a lot of rain. This is caused by a so called “micro-climate”. The area is moist and so the vegetation gets it so needed water and the plants are not dehydrated.
The road from Calpe to Moraira is a lovely drive (if you are on a holiday…) with many curves and places to enjoy the beautiful views to the Mediterranean. It is also nice to visit one of the many “calas” small beaches from sand or pebbles and many nice rock-formations where you can enjoy the sun in all privacy.
On some of the beaches, like in Cala Baladrar, there are nice little bars where you can relax and take a nice cool beer or ice-cream, or some of the typical Spanish “tapas”. If you look down to the south, you will have a great view to the “peñon de ifach”, the mighty rock that divides Calpe´s two beaches.
If you take the road from the coast to the inland, you will get to Benissa. Most of the properties on this coastal strip are on the land of the Benissa town hall. The landscape is enchanting with hills and valleys, olive trees and orange trees, and some times, as you turn the corner, the magnificent sea-view will just take your breath away.
In Benissa you will find supermarkets with everything you need to fill your refrigerator to the top with Spanish and good old “imported” groceries from the UK and the rest of Europe. Of course you cannot have been in the Costa Blanca without having tried to make your own Paella. Many of these villas have a set to make home-made Paella. If you are not into fish you can use the barbeque and grill until late at night as the climate in this area allows you to stay outside by the pool till late, late, late….
If you move up on the coastal road you will get to the town of Moraira. This cosy little fisher town offers you very nice restaurants and bars. Especially one of the ice saloons near the harbour offers you fantastic fresh home made Italian ice-cream. Near the harbour are very nice sandy beaches with lot or space for children to play and where you can hire jetski´s and all kinds of boats.
To be here for one or two weeks will get even the most stressed out person relaxed. The laid-back Spanish atmosphere will affect anyone wanting a nice holiday in a positive way. I hope to see you soon !
