Holiday Villas in Costa Blanca

by Steve Woodward

If the only image of the Costa Blanca, Spain you have is one of high-rise concrete buildings and tourists lazing on the beaches, then you need to think again. Just by heading north away from places like Alicante and Benidorm you will come across a totally different landscape altogether. In this part of the region, you will find lush green hillsides and mountains and some really great holiday villas in Costa Blanca region for renting.

It is here in the northern part of the Costa Blanca you will find more beautiful and traditional Spanish villages, which have stood the test of time. The people who live here stick to their traditions and local customs religiously so siesta time is still important to them, as it has been for many decades.

However, by renting a villa in this part of Spain it offers you the opportunity to see really how the Spanish live. Moreover, renting property is very easy as many Northern Europeans choose to buy second homes here because it has around 320 days of sunshine a year. So in order for them to maintain their properties they will rent them out when they themselves are not using them.

There are many towns and villages throughout the region where villas can be rented. From towns like Denia to small villages to be found in the Orba and Jalon Valleys. All of which provide you with the perfect base to enable you to explore this part of the Costa Blanca more. Below we look at just what you the areas we have mentioned above can offer to those who choose to visit them.

The town of Denia has 20 miles of beautiful beaches, which have been awarded a Blue Flag certificate close by where one can just relax and enjoy the sun. However, for those who are looking for a little adventure then why not try some scuba diving in the rocky coves found to the north of the town. Whilst in the town itself you may want to spend sometime exploring the 18th Century Castillo de Denia that looks over the town.

Even though the town remains pretty much the same as it has for many centuries now it does offer you some superb shopping and places to eat. There is also an indoor market, which provides the town with the same kind of atmosphere that you would expect in Nice. But be warned this town enjoys its fiestas and they occur on a regular basis the main and biggest one of all being the Hogueras de San Juan which takes place in late June each year.

Another place to look for villas is in the Orba Valley that you need to travel further inland to. But here there are some really atmospheric villages and towns where it seems as if time has stood still. In these villages, you will find the old men sitting out on the streets playing dominoes, and the only time you are likely to spot a woman is if you look up towards their balconies where they will be hanging the washing out.

But whether you select a holiday home on the Costa Blanca coast or further inland you will find something that suits your requirements perfectly. When it comes to holiday villas in Costa Blanca the best place to start your search is by going online. Spend time looking at what is available and comparing each one that you are interested in before you make your booking.
