Days Out From Your Villas In Alicante Along The Coast

This year when making arrangements for your VILLAS IN ALICANTE make time for a visit

to the village of La Marina on the Costa Blanca, just twenty minutes by car south of the Alicante airport. La Marina is a big place with all the amenities you could ask for while on holiday and for the most part they are within easy reach even on foot. This lovely retreat is a seaside resort with eleven miles of pristine white sand all of which has been awarded the coveted European Blue Flag for cleanliness, safety and the availability of facilities for the whole family. With an abundance of natural sand dunes you will be spoil for choice in places to put your towel. If you need to stock up your holiday never fear as there is a market in the village every Thursday as well as a Sunday market in the same location which is on Justo Quesada Calle. La Marina comes under the auspices of San Fulgencio.

According to the historians Cardinal Belluga received some 40,000 tahullas of marshy land in 1729. This gift appears to be even larger when you consider that one tahullas is translated to 1,118 square metres. In any case this was poor land in the area around the Segura River delta to Orihuela and Guardamar del Segura. At this time San Fulgencio was founded and the draining of the wetlands began so that crops could be grown, thereby creating an income from tenet farmers. This income was to be used to purchase land for the betterment of mankind which included orphanages and hospitals in Murcia. Cardinal Belluga's diocesan seat was located in Murcia whose patron saint was San Fulgencio hence the name proffered for this project. Today the Archaeological Museum in San Fulgencio contains the history of the race of people called Iberians that at one time long ago inhabited this area. There are artefacts giving witness to their life and death struggle, the items they used in everyday life and who they traded with to obtain some of them and in the end how they treated the dead.

Just down the road from your VILLAS IN ALICANTE is the Spanish town of Guardamar, only a ten minute drive by car. This seaside resort is alive with tourist during the summer season and another twenty minute drive is the seaside resort called Torrevieja with something for everyone, these are just some of the places you can visit on your days out but there is more. If you end up in the seaside resort of Santa Pola or Alicante the small offshore island of Tabarca is easily accessible by ferry. This little island has a long and turbulent history including a point in time when the Barbary Pirates call it home, making it easy to attack the mainland. If you brought the kids with you then a forty five minute journey by car will bring you to the vibrant city of Benidorm and its Terra Mitica theme park with its realistic displays covering a number of continents.
