About the area

A two and a half hour flight into Alicante and just a short drive takes you to Gran Alacant in Costa Blanca on the East coast of Spain. This fast developing town is split into three levels – top, middle and lower - and there are two stunning beaches close by, both with blue flags and stunning golden sand. The area is made up of around 25 urbanisations, each with their own shops, bars and restaurants but it’s also really near to other traditional towns such as Santa Pola. This part of the coast is definitely a holiday makers paradise.
