A lively hub of the popular Orihuela Costa area of the southern Costa Blanca, La Zenia is if great if you like a small, easy going and Anglo-friendly tourist resort with everything on tap.

La Zenia is part of a string of connecting resorts and residential communities that run south from Torrevieja that include Punta Prima, Playa Flamenca, Villamartín, Cabo Roig and Campoamor

Remarkably small and covering little more than a single square kilometre, La Zenia itself is within 40 minutes of Alicante airport and Murcia International Airport at Corvera, both well supplied with flights from the UK. Road access to La Zenia is good.

Property is affordable there too. You can get two-bed apartments from around €80,000, or two-bed townhouses for €100,000 plus, or detached properties from around €1570,000.

The La Zenia shopping mall is the largest in the Alicante region - a family day out in itself!

Elsewhere, La Zenia offers beaches - Cala Bosque and Cala Cerrada are the most popular - the famous Paddy’s Point bar, one of the best-known bars along the Costa Blanca (for breakfast, lunch, dinner, live music), three golf courses within easy reach.

One tourism website describes the resort as “a very English resort mixed with a small taste of Spanish culture” so alongside Sky Sports bars and full English breakfasts can find the local Jalon valley wine and good tapas.

Like its neighbouring resorts, this suits those who seek an easy, affordable Anglo-friendly life in the sun - but especially if you love shopping then La Zenia might be the place for you.
