Things to do locally

You’ll always find something to do on the Costa Blanca.

Shopping
If you fancy a spot of shopping there are two good shopping centres: La Marina in Benidorm and the recently opened Centro Comercial at Ondara. If you’d rather shop in a more local and personal way there are local markets and rastros in most towns. Click on this link for details.

Eating Out
Whiling away an afternoon or evening eating and drinking in Spain is a great past time. There’s no hurry and restaurants will happily let you sit for hours under the shade of an umbrella and watch the world go by. Visit our restaurant page to see one of the most detailed restaurant information sites on the Costa Blanca.

Nightlife
There are plenty of discos, pubs and bars to choose from, as well as shows and cabarets. Casinos and cinemas can also be found. Click here for more information.

Bullfighting
This traditional Spanish ‘sport’ still takes place in some areas. There is much debate as to whether it’s a form of entertainment or a cruel activity. If you’d like to watch a bullfight there are bullrings in Alicante, Ondara, Benidorm and Torrevieja.

Leisure Activities
The Costa Blanca really does have something for everyone including; boat rides, water and theme parks, watersports, fishing, mountain treks, bike hire, snorkelling, golf, tennis, mountaineering, gentle walks, beaches and fiestas and cultural festivals. Visit our entertainment and attractions page to find out more.

Cycling
Cycling on the Costa Blanca is a very popular sport and you’re hardly likely to take a journey without seeing a group of cyclists. The terrain is perfect for cycling, whether you prefer road biking or mountain biking and it’s a great way to see the fantastic scenery.

Ask at the tourist information office for where to hire bikes and cycle routes in the area. www.abdet.com gives some good routes.

Walking
There couldn’t be a better way to see the stunning views and breathtaking scenery of this region than by walking it. There are plenty of walks, from gentle strolls to more strenuous hikes. Walk to the top of the Sierra Bérnia and you’ll experience some fantastic views; on a clear day you can see Benidorm and even as far as Ibiza.

Walks can be guided or alone. If you go alone we strongly advise you to take plenty of water, wear suitable clothing, follow a map and tell someone where you’re going. If you have a mobile phone take it with you, although it may not always have reception. It’s inadvisable to walk in the heat of summer as it’s just too hot and you’re in danger of dehydration. A short walk starting at 6.00am and ending at 9.00am would be bearable, but after that the fierce sun can be very dangerous.

Be wary of the steep and rocky terrain in this area. From a distance a mountain may look easy to climb, but get up close and it’s a different matter. Breaking an ankle or leg when you’re out in the countryside is no joke.
