If you are looking for a rather constant and beautiful climate to enjoy on your travels, you should consider Costa Blanca in Spain. The Costa Blanca weather is almost always predictable and perfect for tourists and residents alike. The area is very dry, one of the driest areas of the whole country. That means little rain, and an average of 300 days of sunshine a year.
When it comes to the benefits of this kind of weather, consider your health. The climate is so perfect, that World Health Organization has labeled this region to be one of the healthiest climates in the world. The reason for the designation is the mild and consistent weather.
Seasons in Costa Blanca
Winter
While many picture winter as a cold and miserable time, this is not the case in Costa Blanca. In this area the winter temperatures stay in the area of 45 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius) and many days see temperatures in the lower 60s. This means you can spend a lot of time out in the winter taking in the fresh air and sunshine.
Many retirees have found out about the perfect climate and have made Costa Blanca their new home. It will not be surprising to find people from Switzerland, Austria, the UK, Germany and Scandinavia living in the area. Many just spend the winter months in Costa Blanca to enjoy the time more than they would in their country of origin.
Spring
Spring is relatively comfortable with temperatures ranging from 20-27 degrees Celsius in the daytime and between 16 and 20 at night. There is often some rain in the spring, but not as much as you will experience in the autumn.
There are many things to see in the spring if you are a lover of the outdoors. This is when the white almond blossoms are in bloom. They are the reason this area was named Costa Blanca, there were so many of them in bloom in spring, they turned the area a brilliant white.
Summer
Summer sees vacationers flooding to Costa Blanca. Many of them are taking advantage of the combination of warm weather and miles of beautiful beaches that are all along Costa Blanca.
Summers are dry, so generally the only time you are going to get wet is from the surf, not rain. It does get pretty hot, with temperatures near 32 degrees Celsius (90 Fahrenheit) on a regular basis.
Autumn
This is the rainy season in Costa Blanca, as well as much of the rest of the Mediterranean. If you are in the area this time of year, you will likely experience many of the rain days the region receives. The wettest month, by far, is November.
The rain that blankets the region comes from two places. First, there is cold air moving in from the north that hits the warm air from the Mediterranean Sea and produces rainstorms. Secondly, the cross Atlantic airflow, which causes the formation of more storms, is stronger in the autumn months.
The Costa Blanca is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Spain. Its' wonderful beaches are one of the main attractions and ideal for water sports for most of the year. Denia and Javea are both located to the north of Alicante and are wonderful towns found at the bottom of a mountain. The holiday town of Moraira is also a favourite choice. Some of the coastal towns such as Gandia, Denia, Alicante and Cartagena have lovely old quarters, which are worth visiting. One of the principal resorts in the north of the Costa Blanca is the holiday resort of Benidorm. It has the attraction of the Terra Mitica theme park, as well as the beaches and the very lively nightlife.
Valencia is Spain's third largest city and is situated among a plain of orange groves. Along with the city of Murcia they both have universities, picturesque cathedrals and an abundance of museums.
The south of the Costa Blanca extends to Torrevieja and La Manga del Mar Menor. Torrevieja, which is approximately 45 minutes drive south of Alicante, is much expanded and before tourism the town's main source of income was sea salt from the large salt lakes which surround the area. There is a huge selection of accommodation to choose from along this coast from luxury Costa Blanca villas overlooking the towns of Denia and Javea in the north, modern holiday apartments in Benidorm at the heart of the nightlife to more rural cortijos and fincas just inland from the coast, yet close to all the activities.
A Costa Blanca holiday offers so much to do, the area is only second to the Costa del Sol in the number of Golf Courses it has, and we have a large selection of golf properties at the Villamartin golf resort and at La Manga. The courses at Villamartin, Las Ramblas and Campoamor offer exciting fairways with each golf course within 5 minutes drive of the other. The other famous golf course at La Manga is situated just to the south of the Mar Menor near to the sea whereas the golf resort of Ciudad Quesada lies inland from Torrevieja.
The Costa Blanca is served by 2 airports, 3 counting the one at Valencia. Alicante is the main international airport with numerous flights per day and the smaller airport of Murcia, next to the Mar Menor is well served with flights from the UK.
