To the north of Alicante we start with a look at Gandia with its Orange plants and sandy beach. You will also find a page on the current Gandia weather around the area.

Next to Gandia lies Oliva, a smaller city within large fields is one of the most known holiday resorts for locals. Due to the mild Oliva weather its perfect for a summer vacation in Spain.

A little bit further to the south in between Denia and Calpe, lies the town of Teulada. With excellent and sometimes very hot Teulada weather conditions, it is one of the area where tourisim has not yet destroyed some of the old spanish flair. And if you are around the area, you should see Moraira which lies just beside. Also with wonderful Moraira weather and temperatues, it is an inviting little town which combines traditions and modern tourisim perfectly.

To the south of Alicante, next to Torrevieja lies the town of Guardamar. Famous for its dunes and nice Guardamar weather, its natural park attracts many visitors each year.

For those of you who visit the Costa Blanca area in the winter time, you should really visit Jijona famous for its turron and the Alicante nativity scene museum.

A little bit away from the coastline just in between Alicante and Murcia you will find the bishop city of Orihuela. With the hot Orihuela weather and tempratures above 40 C in summer, certainly one of the most interesting cities from a sightseeing point of view.
