Tour of the Mediterranean Coast: Charming Seaside Villages
Our tour of Mediterranean seaside villages begins in Alicante, by discovering Villajoyosa. You'll love its colourful houses by the sea and its venerable fishing tradition ... as well as chocolate! Meanwhile, Dénia combines a lively marina with coves ideal for diving and has been recognised as a Creative City of Gastronomy by UNESCO.
Further south, Santa Pola keeps the seafaring spirit alive with its fish market and views of Tabarca Island, where you can try a delicious caldero.
On the coast of Valencia, we suggest getaways by the Mediterranean Sea that will take you, for example, to Cullera, which offers a landscape where the Júcar River meets the sea, among castles, lagoons and its fish market.
Nearby, in El Perellonet and the Albufera Natural Park, visitors can enjoy the calm of beaches with stunning dunes and the most emblematic sunsets in the Mediterranean. Finally, Port Saplaya, in Alboraya, will amaze you with its canals and colourful façades.
In Benicasim, Castellón, make sure you visit its Art Nouveau villas by the sea, and experience a musical summer at unforgettable festivals. Meanwhile, Peñíscola combines history and the sea with its imposing Templar castle and charming historical centre, perfect for a leisurely ramble.
And finally, Vinaròs offers you its delicious prawns and a family atmosphere on the coast. These beaches and ports will win you over: each stop on this route through Mediterranean seaside villages reflects a different way of experiencing it! Get ready for unforgettable days with the unmistakable taste of the sea.
