Costa Blanca South / Costa Calida

The Southern region of the Costa Blanca, differs vastly from the North. Where themountains meet the coast in the North, the South provides a far flatter landscapewith immense Salt Lakes dotted around the coastline. Some of these Lakes areoperational and full of wildlife including the famous pink flamingos, and others havenow become protected Natural Parks.

The beaches between Alicante and La Mata include some of the best in the wholeregion, for example, La Marina and Guardamar. The majority of the land in this areais protected with a vast expanse of pine forests separating the beaches andprohibiting further development making the area quite unique. There is a constantdemand for property in the La Marina and Guardamar area and it is virtuallyimpossible to find front line property on the beach side, however, there are stillaffordable new developments and resales just a few minutes drive away.
