Embracing Spring along the Costa Blanca and Costa Cálida.
It is only February and spring is already beginning to grace the Mediterranean coastline. Outdoor enthusiasts from Valencia down to Murcia are quickly shaking off their brief winter hibernation as the region comes to life again. The pleasant climate, coupled with diverse landscapes, invites residents and visitors alike to immerse themselves in a variety of activities that celebrate the season.
The Mediterranean coastline boasts pristine beaches with golden sands and clear waters. Beaches such as La Malvarrosa in Valencia city, Les Marines in Denia, El Arenal in Javea, La Zenia in South Costa Blanca and Los Narejos in Los Alcázares (Murcia) all offer ample opportunity for sunbathing and swimming. Yes, swimming!
Sea temperatures are already a more than acceptable 15°C and rise further to 18°C in May, making late spring particularly inviting for swimmers.
Spring’s mild weather enhances the experience of al fresco dining along the coast. Many restaurants on the Costa Blanca and Costa Cálida offer terrace seating, allowing patrons to enjoy meals outdoors. Savouring local dishes such as paella, fresh seafood and tapas is even more enjoyable when accompanied by warm temperatures, sea breezes and scenic views.
Beyond the beaches, the region offers a plethora of outdoor activities. Cycling enthusiasts can explore routes like Hiking trails in natural parks such as Serra Gelada near Benidorm provide panoramic coastal views. Water sports, including sailing, windsurfing, and paddleboarding, are popular in areas like Torrevieja and Santa Pola, while in La Zenia and Los Alcázares, visitors can enjoy activities such as golf, water sports, and beach outings.
Spring is a time of vibrant festivals and cultural events along the coast.
