Where to Visit

So given you have the freedom of the road, what do you do with it?

Firstly, the beaches – try those at San Juan, Saladares-Urbanova, El Postiguet, Albufuerta, El Cabo de las Huertas (nudist) and Tabaraca Island off the Valencian coast.

How about some culture? Then try the Castillo de Santa Barbara, which overlooks the city from a cliff and some other religious landmarks including the Santa María Church and the Santa Faz Monastery. Mercado central is great find for the architecture of Juan Vidal.

A little further afield? How about a day trip to see the Natural Reserve of La Albufera to see the migatory birds - this is about 11kms south of Valencia. The Cueva Agua Delce (freshwater caves ) are just to the east of Denia and are a must see, along with the two lakes.

For those who like things a little faster, the Terra Mitica park will appeal to children and active adults. Try the Magnus Colossus, a great wooden rollercoster or for those a little more delicate how about the Bravo train. The park is located near to Benidorm and an easy drive from anywhere in the Costa Blanca.
