Coastal life in Alicante Region
Seeking coastal life adventures, not necessarily in the crowds of tourists? Check out some hidden spots you can visit or alternative ways to explore the popular sites to escape the hustle and bustle and experience local vibes of the Costa Blanca coast your way.
The Mediterranean Costa Blanca coast around Alicante region is rich with calas and platjas. Some of them, the municipal ones, shout at you with their colorful restaurants and crowds, some are the ones you need to read about beforehand and plan a drive to, and some you simply discover by accident as hidden gems between the cliffs out there in the middle of nowhere. There are also the ones that you can only access by water -those I still want to discover. Here are some I dipped my feet into, so far.

Guadalest
Are you intrigued by history and charmed by little towns overlooking stunning panoramic views? Visit Guadalest for a couple of hours or at least a day. This town perched high on the hill is not only about history that merges the Muslim with the Christian, the medieval castle with its amazing views of the Guadalest valley from the top but also about local crafts and artisan shopping and local atmosphere you can observe at cafes and bars, all for the full experience.
