Costa Blanca
Costa Blanca is the coast in Alicante province of the autonomous region, which goes from Denia to Torrevieja. The Costa Blanca resorts are considered the best at the Mediterranean coast of - less tourists than on Costa del Sol, and at the same time the climate is much softer than the climate of
Costa Brava
.
The northern part has a lot of small bays and capes, beaches and rocks. Internal territory of the
Alicante
province is hilly, here there are a lot of narrow terraces with fruit gardens, grape plants and olive groves. There is less tourists here, than in the south. In the south of the coast the ground is covered with gardens of orange trees, along the sea there long sandy beaches. Closer to Torrevieja there is a lot of wastelands and forestless hills, which are covered with only green sand-dunes in Guardamar del Segura.
Costa Blanca villages, which has turned into comfortable and modern resort cities, have a long and rich history. Before our times there were colonies and trade factories of Iberians, Phoenicianеs and Greeks. Carfagen people first built here sea bases, which were then passed to
Rome
people, Byzantine people, and then to Visigoth people. During Arabian ruling Denia, for example, for a long time was the capital of Arabian emirate in
Andalusia
, before it was won by royal Castilian and Leon houses.
