Spain, Costa Blanca

Meaning 'white coast', the Costa Blanca offers spectacular beaches and a warm welcome that, over the years, has made it a firm favourite with British holidaymakers. Boasting soaring skyscrapers, the Costa Blanca's main resort, Benidorm, is reminiscent of Manhattan and is just as vibrant with its heady mix of sizzling nightlife and bustling boulevards lined with bars, cafes and restaurants.
