The name "White Coast" already promises what many summer vacationers long for – miles of light sandy beaches and a pleasantly mild climate year-round. The approximately 200-kilometer stretch of coastline, extending from Dénia in the north through Benidorm and Alicante to Torrevieja in the south, attracts tourists not only with its famous beach resorts. The picturesque hinterland, with its stunning nature and historic villages, as well as the vibrant cities of Alicante and Valencia, also make for appealing day trips. The author, Hans-Jürgen Fründt, for whom the Iberian Peninsula has become a second home, offers numerous discoveries along the southeastern coast of Spain. Enjoying leisurely strolls along the Explanada de España promenade, relaxing in secluded coves, and swimming in the Mediterranean are just some of his recommendations, along with lively fiestas and the urban life that truly comes alive in the evening and night hours. Excursions to landmarks such as the 332-meter-high rock Peñón de Ifach or the city of Elche with its palm groves provide variety. Each chapter of the Costa Blanca travel guide with Valencia begins with a double page that presents the contents along with an overview map of the region, highlights, and page references. Color-coordinated page number boxes make navigation through the book easier. Naturally, the guide includes tried-and-true practical tips on travel questions from A to Z. The expanded introduction features overview pages with descriptions of all regions, a yearly calendar of festivals and events, route suggestions, and the author's personal top tips. Additionally, there is detailed information on the history, culture, and traditions of this region. A small Spanish language guide facilitates conversation on-site.
