The most important towns on the Costa Blanca are:
Denia, Javea, Moraira/Teulada, Benissa, Calpe, Altea, Benidorm, Villajoyosa, Alicante, Guardamar, Santa-Pola and Torrevieja.

The Costa Blanca, or "White Coast", has long been a favorite spot among foreign holidaymakers. Corresponding roughly to the modern province of Alicante, this region is made up of two clearly differentiated scenic areas:
- To the north, a curtain of mountains runs parallel to the sea, descending at times to form cliffs
- To the south a vast plain of sand patches, palm trees and salt deposits make up the back-drop for beaches that seem to stretch on forever.
This part of the Mediterranean is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and picturesque of all Spanish Costas.
