Costa Blanca

The Costa Blanca is an approximately 200 km long coastal section along the Mediterranean Sea from Dénia in the north to Pilar de la Horadada in the south. The fine sandy beaches, fantastic landscapes with palm groves, wetlands and several nature parks as well as the mild climate all year round make the region a popular holiday destination. Contrasting the blue of the sea, shine the bright sandy beaches, rock formations and small villages with whitewashed houses.

Funfact: The name "Costa Blanca" was allegedly invented in 1957 by the airline "British European Airways", which used this slogan to advertise its flights from London to Valencia.

    Sehr schöne Rundwanderung - die wir ab Xabia (les Duanes de la Mar) gewandert sind. Abschließend hatten wir ein sensationell gutes und relativ günstiges Menu im empfehlenswerten Restaurant Sotavent Jávea. Siehe Bilder - auch von der etwas versteckt liegenden, aber architektonisch interessanten Kirche.

    Amazing route! The view from the top is gorgeous! At some parts can be slippery, so wearing good shoes is a must.

    We had done a pretty technical, mountain hike the day before so wanted a nice, level, easy to follow trail and this one certainly delivered. Lovely scenery, wide, easy to follow tracks that allow you to take it all in without having to look at the map every 5 minutes. Thanks for sharing.

    totally agree with the other comments - do it the other way round! however the walk is not "easy" - definitely a "medium" -especially the first part (if done in counterclockwise direction)!
