 Benidorm  -  Ayuntamiento de Benidorm [ Town Hall Benidorm ]
 Benidorm  -  Official tourism site of Benidorm
An authentic tourist resort, with clean, golden beaches of outstanding quality. Modern buildings and wide avenues, hotels to suit everyone, a warm climate encouraging visitors to come 365 days a year. Whether you want an active or a restful and relaxing holiday - it's yours for the asking, day or night. Nightlife or beachlife.
Benidorm, with the theme park Terra Mítica and other attractions like Terra Natura, Mundomar and Aqualandia has become a favourite place to go for Mediterranean civilisations, fauna and nature. A fun place for culture, for all ages.
 Cabo Roig
 Denia  -  Ajuntament de Denia [ Town Hall Denia ]
 El Campello  -  Ayuntamiento de El Campello
El Campello has a 23 kilometre coastline with beaches ranging from the Muchavista Playa which borders on the much visited San Juan Playa to rocky coves such as the Cova del Llop Marí and the cove of Morro Blanc. There is a nudist beach in the rocky Lloma de Reixes cove.
 Gandia
 Gran Alacant
 Guardamar del Segura  -  Ajuntament de Guardamar del Segura
At the end of the 19th century the town experienced serious problems as a result of the advancing sands. Planting rows of pine trees, which now give Guardamar del Segura its uniquely striking combination of woodlands and beach, have halted the advance. Today the area is a 840 hectare Forest Park called the 'Dunas de Guardamar', and has been declared an Area of Natural Interest. The Reina Sofía Park is a good place to walk and admire the scenery within a magnificent setting of native flora and fauna. The park, with its lakes, waterfalls and trails, is beautifully designed. Guardamar's 14-kilometre coastline has fine sandy beaches.
 Javea / Xabia  -  Xabia.org  -  inorthern part of Costa Blanca
Jávea, framed by the Capes of La Nau and Sant Antoni on the shores of the Mediterranean sea, is a town of great beauty, magical landscapes, a haven of peace and serenity. Here, Nature has been so generous and splendid that it is difficult to find a similar place. The sea is pure blue, clean and revealing. The mountain, washed by the Mediterranean sea, offers us lush vegetation and many local species of flora and fauna.
 La Marina
 Santa Pola
The Roman Porutus Illcitanues is a populous and lively seaside city with almost 15 kilometres of fine sandy beaches.
The Salinas (salt-flats) are another interesting aspect of Santa Pola. Exploitation of the salt-flats began at the end of the 19th century and they extended over an 880 hectare area that produced 100,000 tons of salt per year. The area is now a Nature Reserve where many migratory birds pass the winter. The reserve is also the natural habitat of several aquatic species such as albatrosses and herons.
 Torrevieja  -  Torrevieja.com 
There are several magnificent sandy beaches including Los Locos, El Acequión, Los Náufragos, La Mata and El Cura. The southernmost beach, the Náufragos beach, offers a range of amenities. The Cura beach is situated between the Levante dock and the Punta Carral. Across from the Punta Carral is the Los Locos beach. The longest and most northern beach is the la Mata from where excursions can be made to the tourist vantage point of the Moro Tower, one of the medieval towers that give Torrevieja its name.

 University of Alicante  -  Universidad de Alicante
The University of Alicante was created in October 1979. It was formed on the basis of the Centre for University Studies (CEU) which had come into being in 1968. In this way, Alicante recuperated university studies which had disappeared in 1834 when its predecessor, the University of Orihuela, closed after two centuries of education.
The University of Orihuela was created by Papal Bull in 1545 and kept its doors open during two centuries (1610-1808).

History of Spain

The original peoples of the Iberian peninsula (in the sense that they are not known to have come from elsewhere), consisting of a number of separate tribes, are given the generic name of Iberians. This includes the Basque, the only pre-Roman Iberian people surviving to the present day as a separate ethnic group......
