Sunflower Landscapes Costa Blanca Jetzt im Trend!

A guidebook to walking on the Costa Blanca in Spain, featuring 75 of the best long and short day walks. We cover both the coast and inland, showing trekking routes of varying difficulty, all of which are mapped in detail.

Many of the hikes are circular, taking in fertile valleys full of orchards and orange groves, with mountain peaks dominating the skyline.

This guide also includes five car tours, a touring map, plans of Benidorm, Alicante and Dénia and free downloadable GPS tracks.

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.

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; 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.

Explore the Costa Blanca by car: the drives 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 trekkers.
