*** Los Arcos is a beautiful villa near the pretty inland town of La Nucia. It's close to the coastal towns and beaches of Altea (8km), Albir (5km) and Benidorm (5km). The nearest airport is Alicante (about 60km). Murcia (140km) and Valencia (150km) are also possible. 
 
The Costa Blanca has many well known tourist destinations, such as Denia, Javea, Moraira, Calpe, Altea, Benidorm, Villajoyosa, Campello, Alicante and Torrevieja. In addition to these seaside resorts, there are many places of interest inland. There are also the cities of Valencia, Murcia and Alicante.  
 
Benidorm is one of the biggest tourist destinations in Spain. It is the quintessential sun, sea and sand destination. There are hundreds of bars, restaurants, discos and nightclubs. 
 
Altea is an artistic and cultural centre. There is a large concert hall there with regular events. Alfaz del Pi is between Altea and Benidorm. It also has its own concert hall and its own resort at Albir. Calpe is another nearby resort, famous for its rock, which is now a national park. Villajoyosa is a large town with a very pretty old and recently restored seafront area. 
 
A light railway along the coast runs from Denia in the north to Alicante in the south. It means that, even on public transport, a day trip to any destination along the route is feasible. 
 
Inland and coastal touring routes are easily accessed from our villa. The very popular and much visited Guadalest is about twenty minutes away by car. The routes through Tarbena and Parcent towards Pego go through La Nucia and Polop. Past Guadalest is the road to Alcoy and beyond that are Bocairent and Villena, both of which make good day trips. The various mountain ranges – Sierra d’Aitana, Sierra d’Orxeta and Sierra de Xorta are all nearby and have beautiful scenery and walks. There are also a number of small inland towns that are very pretty, such as Relleu, Sella, Tarbena, Callosa d’en Sarria, Finestrat and numerous others.
