About the property

The distance to the shops is about 200 m. Here you will find a street with several restaurants, bars, "tapas" bars, a small supermarket, bank ATM's, an ice cream parlor, etc. These shops are open year round, so the apartment may be rented in winter as well as in summer. The boulevard is located about 2 km away. At a distance of 1.5 km (up a steep road) is a large supermarket, a veterinarian and Internet and telephone services. At a distance of 2 km is a clinic with English-speaking doctors and staff. You can walk to a nature park where you can take wonderful hiking tours or go mountain biking.

On the Spanish east coast lies the Costa Blanca ('White Coast') with its healthy sunshine and cool sea breeze. Amsterdam to Alicante (by car) is approx. 2200 km. By air, it is about 2 hours. There is a good bus service to Torrevieja in Alicante. A visit to the city of Alicante, only 8 km away, is highly recommended. You can spend a leisurely day shopping or visit local museums and monuments. Also recommended is a trip to the town of Santa Pola, with its salt water lakes, also only 8 km away. In former times this was an idyllic fishing town and a major Roman port. The 17th century fort houses an archaeological museum and an aquarium. From the coast of Santa Pola you can travel by ferry to the small island of Tabarca. The island has a population of only 40 people, and almost everything is forbidden here: camping, water-skiing, etc. Nevertheless, hundreds of people visit the island daily. The city wall, which surrounds the village, has three towers and all streets lead to the church square. The strangest building is the house of the chief magistrate, where you will find the only hotel in the village. Another recommended destination for young and old is the aqua park in nearby Torrevieja (30km). Here you will find several swimming pools with large slides. In Rojales (10 km away) you can go horseback riding on the beach accompanied by an instructor (riding lessons are also available) or spend your time at the golf course. Summers in this area last from late April to mid-October, and in winter it does not get much colder than 12 degrees so the Costa Blanca is the perfect year-round travel destination! ATTENTION!
