Another reason that the Costa Blanca remains so popular is because the Costa Blanca has very little rainfall and the weather is warm an average of 300 days a year, allowing everyone to enjoy the leisure and Sport facilities available throughout the year.

Since golf is the passion of so many people in recent years, it is easy to understand why golf properties in the Costa Blanca have become so popular. Combine beautiful weather year round with one of the world’s most popular sports, and you have a winning combination all by itself. Add to that the convenience of flying into the region’s large international airport in Alicante, and the many discount flights available, and golfers can find any excuse to visit their property and play.

Or for the thrill seeker or the more adventurous, take a 40 minute balloon flight in Elche.

The Rio Safari Park in Elche is also the ideal spot to enjoy nature and to watch tigers, lions, camels, monkeys, and hippopotamus. From its trains you can also visit the first farm exhibition with more than 200 crocodiles of all sizes. Rio Safari’s 6000 fully grown palm trees create an unique tropical setting.
