Reiseführer Costa Blanca mit Valencia

The name "White Coast" already promises what many summer vacationers long for - miles of light sandy beaches and a pleasantly mild climate all year round. The approximately 200-kilometer stretch of coastline, which extends from Dénia in the north through Benidorm and Alicante to Torrevieja in the south, attracts tourists not only with its famous seaside resorts. The picturesque hinterland, with its stunning nature and historic villages, as well as the vibrant cities of Alicante and Valencia, also offer appealing excursion destinations.

Author Hans-Jürgen Fründt, for whom the Iberian Peninsula has become a second home, presents numerous discoveries along the southeastern coast of Spain. Enjoying a leisurely stroll along the Explanada de España promenade, relaxing in secluded coves, and swimming in the Mediterranean are just a few of his recommendations, along with lively fiestas and the urban life that truly comes alive in the evening and night hours. Excursions to landmarks such as the 332-meter-high Peñón de Ifach rock or to the city of Elche with its palm groves provide variety.

Each chapter of the travel guide begins with a double page that introduces the content with an overview map of the region, highlights, and page references. Color-coordinated page number boxes make it easier to navigate the book. Of course, the guide includes tried-and-true practical tips on travel questions from A to Z. The expanded introduction features overview pages with descriptions of all regions, a yearly overview of festivals and events, suggested itineraries, and the author's personal top tips. Additionally, there is detailed information on the history, culture, and traditions of this region. A small Italian language guide facilitates conversation on-site.
