Costa Blanca, the white coast, is a fantastic tourist attraction created by the BEA, British European Airways, in order to promote their new flight to the area from London. Costa Blanca is 200 meters, or more than 125 miles, of sandy beaches along the southeastern coast of Spain. The now famous strip of sand spans from Torrevieja to Denia and is home to millions of tourists annually. In addition to the beauty of the beaches and the opportunity for adventures such as sea kayaking, the area is home to beautiful mountains that offer walking or climbing tours.
Climbing on a Costa Blanca holiday is a very popular activity. The weather allows year round accessibility to the limestone mountains and the climbers take advantage of more than 2500 climbing routes here. Winter is an especially good time to travel to this area, because the flights and boarding costs associated with the trip will be considerably less than in the summer.
Climbing tours in the mountains of the
Costa Blanca area are quite intensive. An average day can be up to eight hours of climbing instruction and actual climbing. If you enjoy this activity and your skill level increases, you will be able to take advantage of more and more difficult climbs along the mountains. Many of the tour companies will make your climbing tour completely inclusive, so even a first time climber will have all of the latest gear to climb with, and the greatest instruction possible to use it, along with meals, lodging and lasting around five or six days.
For those who love the mountains but aren't willing to risk the heights, great walking tours are also available. You can book a walking tour that lasts a few days or an entire week. There are many places in the mountainous regions of the Costa Blanca that are only available to someone on foot, so if you would like to see this side of the mountains, you will have to walk to get there.
There are ruins, limestone rock formations and other natural elements available for exploration on these tours. These walking tours also provide all-inclusive options, so that meals and lodging are provided. There are walking tours that use buses to get from one part of the
Costa Blanca mountains to another.
Sea kayaking tours are another option for an activity along the Costa Blanca that you may never have considered before. These tours vary between one hour to several days in length and the only requirement is that you are able to swim. Due to the very warm waters in the Mediterranean Sea, these kayaking tours are available year round.
