Alicante Car Hire

Costa Blanca in mainland Spain is a resort area on the south east coast of Spain centred around the town of Benidorm. The nearest airport is Alicante which is about 1 hour's drive away. Alicante is the capital of the area and is a large city with all the usual amenities available.

Benidorm is the main beach area north of Alicante and is now a city in it's own right because of the massive expansion programme in recent years. The surrounding countryside is mountainous with olive groves dominating the landscape.

The compact town centre is a 15-minute taxi ride or 40-minute bus journey from the airport. The renovating and constant construction process, which seems to be synonymous with many Spanish coastal tourist havens, makes for a stark eyeful as you approach the town. But the palm tree-lined broad avenues and promenades make up for the less than impressive first impressions!

At the initial sight of Alicantes outer shell, the word "charming" certainly wouldnt spring to any travellers mind, in contrast to tourism literature! Yet considering its one of Spains most significant provincial economic centres the nucleus of Alicante contains unexpected spots of impressive architecture and urban quaintness.
