Road trip along the Costa Blanca – discover Spain’s diversity

The Costa Blanca is much more than sun, sea and sand. To truly discover the region, get in the car and explore a world of charming villages, dramatic mountain landscapes and picturesque coastal towns. A road trip reveals why so many people fall in love with this part of Spain – and why it is such an attractive place to live or own a second home.

1. From Dénia to Altea – coastal beauty

The route from Dénia to Altea is one of the most beautiful along the Mediterranean. Starting in the charming port town of Dénia, head south via Jávea and Moraira, both perfect stops for tapas, a stroll or a swim.
Don’t miss Cap de la Nau, where the sea views are simply breathtaking. The journey ends in Altea, famous for its whitewashed houses and narrow cobbled streets.

2. Into the Guadalest Valley – nature and culture

Heading inland, you’ll reach the spectacular Guadalest Valley. Winding roads lead to a village perched high above a turquoise reservoir. With its castle, artisan shops and charming streets, Guadalest is both authentic and unforgettable.

3. From Cabo de la Nao to Cala Granadella – a hidden paradise

A short route but an unforgettable one. The road winds past cliffs, pine forests and hidden coves until you reach Cala Granadella, often named one of Spain’s most beautiful beaches. Perfect for a swim or a picnic by the sea.

4. From Villajoyosa to Alicante – colour and energy

Villajoyosa, famous for its colourful houses and chocolate, is a cheerful starting point. Follow the coast towards Alicante, stopping at El Campello to admire the view from the Mirador del Faro.
The route ends in Alicante, a lively city where culture, gastronomy and beach life come together.

5. The Sierra de Bernia – for nature lovers

For those seeking peace and nature, the Sierra de Bernia is a must. The circular route takes you through orchards and rugged mountain scenery. The highlight is the walk to the Forat de Bernia, a natural tunnel through the rock that offers phenomenal views of the coastline and mountains.
