On the Costa Blanca there are up to 320 days of sunshine a year. Moving your home near here also means getting away from the winter. Anyone who suffers from asthma, has problems with the heart or circulation or suffers from psoriasis, should definitely choose this region as a destination. Many saltlakes and the winds from the sea create a healthy climate.
Even in winter it is rarely cold here, which is why we like to spend Christmas here - the temperature can go up to 20 degrees. Incidentally, the World Health Organization (WHO) has certified the Costa Blanca the best climate in the world. Not only a bath in the salt lakes provides for a rapid relief of the discomfort. The resident also finds relaxation in the beautiful beaches of the region.
Beach and pine forests
A trip worth: Te city of Guardamar. You take the N-332a or the N-332 for about 10 kilometers south by car. The city has about 15,000 inhabitants and has one of the most beautiful (but also most dangerous) beaches in Spain.
This beach is eleven kilometers long. Parallel to it runs a large pine forest. Especially easy to reach is the Playa Centro. It is 30 meters wide and has a beautiful beach promenade with restaurants and discos. Since 1987 he has been awarded the ‘Blue Flag’.
The dune landscape called Pinada de Guardamar was planted at the beginning of the 20th century. It should be prevented so the migration of the sand dunes on the beach. The problem arose because from the 18th century more and more forest was cut down. This wood was used by the fishermen as timber for their ships. The consequences showed in the. 19th century. The sand dunes continued to penetrate the town and soon reached the first houses of Guardamar. To save the village, people planted pines, palm trees, cypresses and eucalyptus trees. Through the forest, the city was saved, because the dunes stopped moving.
The Pinada not only meant salvation for the city, but today it is one of the main tourist magnets. Visitors can make extensive hikes on the vast dune landscapes. Today, the dunes are in a nature reserve. Particularly popular are two parks. Several thousand visitors come annually to the Parque Alfonso XII and the Parque Reina Sofia.
