To help you decide which area is best for you, we have started to include brief descriptions of the areas most popular with buyers in the form of Area Guides for numerous areas. Click on the links below to find out more about an area that interests you. At DECH ESTATE we try to give you as much information as we can in our Area Guide so that you can make the most informed decision when buying or renting your home on the beautiful Mediterranean coasts of the Costa Blanca and Costa Cálida.

The Costa Cálida Two seas on the same coast - the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean -, imposing cliffs, paradisiacal beaches with endless white sand, lively ports and wild coves with crystal-clear waters, more than 3,000 hours of sunshine a year and mild temperatures - even in winter - with an annual average of over 18ºC. This is the Costa Cálida, the ideal place to spend a few days relaxing both in winter and summer.

Every trip has a magical moment. On the Costa Blanca, that moment when the traveller experiences some kind of revelation can happen at many different times and places. It could happen while taking a walk at dusk, when the "warm and humble light" described by Gabriel Miró begins to hide behind the peak of the Aitana mountain. It can happen when you feel the joy of children's games while visiting one of the 170 beaches and coves of the Mediterranean coast. Or it can happen when sailing the ocean in a pleasure boat, feeling the east or southeast wind against the sails, using our rhythmic energy while kayaking, or after completing one of the 23 golf courses in the province where the sun shines more than 300 days a year. We have a series of area guides for you on the Costa Blanca and Costa Cálida.

7 good reasons to choose the Costa Blanca and the Costa Cálida

1. Fantastic beaches
The Costa Blanca has 71 Blue Flag beaches (2019 data), a figure higher than any other region in the world! The Blue Flag is an international measure of the excellent quality of the beaches. From miles of sandy beaches to charming little coves, the Costa Blanca offers you the best variety and choice to enjoy the golden sand and the sound of the waves.

2. Infrastructure
The Costa Blanca has one of the best infrastructures in Spain. It has an international airport with flights to multiple destinations with more than 15 million passengers a year, a high-speed railway line (AVE) to Madrid, rail connection with the entire coast, ferry to Ibiza and Formentera and let's not forget the TRAM, a local tram in Alicante city that connects with all the coastal towns of the Costa Blanca North to Denia.

3. Sea and Mountains
Alicante is a province of contrasts, with a very flat topography in the south and very mountainous areas in the north and inland of the province. As well as creating very attractive landscapes, this makes the region ideal for lovers of hiking, climbing and cycling. In winter, numerous professional cycling teams come to train in the hills of the northern Costa Blanca.

4. Fabulous climate
With an average temperature of 18 degrees, the Costa Blanca is the region in Spain that enjoys the greatest number of sunny days, up to 300 a year! The brightness, together with the Mediterranean climate, offers mild winters and many other advantages, such as less wind than other regions facing the Atlantic Ocean, make the Costa Blanca one of the best possible European destinations.

5. Gastronomy
With several restaurants included in the Michelin Guide and others not so well-known but very famous among the local population, the Costa Blanca offers a wide and varied gastronomic experience with options for all budgets.

6. Golf
The province has 23 golf courses spread from north to south, some of them of the highest level and recognised on international circuits. Any lover of this sport should know that they can find several courses in which to enjoy a round within a short distance of where they decide to buy.

7. Excellent Prices
The relative abundance of land compared to other Spanish areas makes house prices on the Costa Blanca more affordable. There is a fairly significant price difference throughout the province, with the highest prices in the north of the Costa Blanca, motivated by the mountainous nature of the terrain and the best sea views, and the lowest prices in the south of the Costa Blanca, where the land is more uniform and therefore has more availability for construction.
