The Costa Blanca is ideal for countryside exploration all year
round. Travel only a short distance inland, and the bustle of
the resorts is left far behind. You find yourself surrounded by
market gardens, orchards and orange groves, while the dark
rugged silhouettes of the sierras beckon you close. Here, you
can put aside the stress and hassle of modern living. Wild
flowers - from the humble daisy to the most exotic orchid -
abound; the air is filled with the scent of fragrant herbs;
birdsong drifts along on the breeze, and mountain peaks dominate
the skyline. The weather-beaten faces of villagers in the fields
break into smiles as you pass by. All these images combine to
create an ambience you will find irresistible. The car tours
lead through fertile valleys smothered in blossom or
sweet-scented fruit to delightful inland villages. Windmills,
waterfalls and 'snow wells' feature among the picnic settings.
But the rugged silhouettes of the area's many sierras dominate
this landscape - an irresistible attraction for walkers. |
