The night life in the Costa Blanca has a lot to offer.  We could go out for drinks, eat at a trendy restaurant, go clubbing, or walk around the beach holding hands with our loved one admiring the Mediterranean moon and of course we could go enjoy a show or two Las Vegas style!

Places like the Benidorm Palace offer you nightly dinner shows. All you have to do is choose from menus like the Gran Palace Menu, which includes a combination meat, fish and vegetable plate along with wine and cava then choose the show you want to watch, some of my favorites are Finalísimo, Las Mil y una Noches, and Pasión.

There is no excuse! If you live in the Costa Blanca or even if you are just visiting, going out on the weekend or even during the weeknight is a must.  There is too much to see and do in this party region.

The Canalobre cave is situated in the lateral meridian mountain known as “el Cabeçó d’Or “ 3 km north of the town of Busot. This cave has a huge chamber of 150 m and contains some formations of dripstones that appear to be “canelobres” (word in valeciano meaning candelabra) hence, where the name comes from.

The cave is conditioned for tourists visits and contains instillation of platforms, steps and pathways with beautiful illuminated lighting. It’s excellent acoustics lends itself to host a concert and artistic presentations.

If you enjoy the mysteries of the earth and you want to escape to a magnificent hideaway, come take a look at this cave and admire its grandeur and splendor. There are many caves along the Costa Blanca and little by little we will discover them together.

Before we know it The Three Kings and Santa Claus are knocking at our door. One of the best things about Christmas is the deserts. In the Costa Blanca we have the luxury of having the city of turrones, Jijona in our surroundings.

This city produces more than 70 tons of turrón during six months (the annual season of production). The fame of the turrones of this region (hard or soft) has surpassed all barriers and they have become the classic sweets of the entire world. The two key ingredients are honey and almond.

The narrow and steep streets of Jijona, situated in the edge of a hill, are charming with an Arab neighbourhood which is exceptionally conserved, this and the museum of turrón, make this an interesting and delicious day trip.

Don’t forget to purchase your season worth of this treat from the authentic turrón city.

When I visit a city for the first time I want to see it all, I don’t want to miss absolutely anything. If you don’t know a city well you could take a long time finding the spots you want to see and even more money in transportation to get there and then add to that the frustration of getting where you want but not getting there in time to see an exhibition or go shopping because everything is closed.

Valencia has the perfect solution, it is a service called Valencia Bus Turistic , it is a double Decker bus that will take you all around town while you sit back and relax in its comfortable and ample seats with panoramic windows for your viewing pleasure.. All buses offer a multilingual audio system so you can hear the guided tour in any language you please.

This fantastic tour makes 15 stops and the ticket price is valid for 24 hours so that you can get on or off as you please depending on where you want to stop and visit. If you convince at least 20 of your friends to join you, your ticket price will be cheaper and the ride more fun. I’m calling all my buddies and heading out on a tour of Valencia..

From the port of Alicante we could begin our adventure to Tabarca. In only one hour we arrive in this privileged island, in the past called San Pablo. Surrounded by the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, this island conserves all its marine tradition and offers us a precise paradise.

Here we could practice scuba diving o fishing in the unsurpassable conditions of its crystalline waters that are protected ever since Tabarca was declared a marine reserve. We could visit the museum of miniature art, the urban town, walk around its surrounding and eat at one of its many restaurants recognized for their menus typical of the region with fish as their specialty.

Any time of the year is a god time to go visit the island of Tabarca, so make it now.
