Wintering on the Spanish coast?
Costa Blanca, a must-visit winter destination
Whenever we think of the Costa Blanca we always associate it with summer. Dreamlike beaches where you can relax for hours, a brilliant sun that accompanies us for most of the day or swimming in crystal clear waters are some of its main attractions.
However, the Costa Blanca is much more than that and has become an unmissable winter destination, so read on to find out why! Read on and find out why a winter stay at Dormio Resort Costa Blanca is highly recommended.
Winter activities on the Costa Blanca
As we have already mentioned, the Costa Blanca is more than just sun and beach, and the warmer months are ideal for activities such as hiking and cycling. An ideal excursion to do in the province of Alicante in winter is the route to the Cova Tallada. This is one of the most impressive sites on the Costa Blanca, located between Jávea and Denia. For the more adventurous, the route can also be done by kayak along the coast. The interior of the province also offers very interesting hiking options such as the Sierra de Mariola or the Font Roja in Alcoy, which are also perfect for families. Are you interested in discovering the onspoilt nature on the Spanish coast? Take a walk or cycle about the wonderful Vías Verdes!
Visit beautiful villages in the province of Alicante
Want to discover Alicante's picturesque villages? Then winter is the ideal season! Altea, with its white limestone houses, narrow streets and characteristic domes, is a real must-visit. The village of Guadalest is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Combine a leisurely stroll along the beautiful reservoir and castle with a tasting of the delicious local gastronomy. We also recommend a visit to Alcoi. This village is located inland and hosts Spain's oldest Three Kings parade.
Cultural enjoyment in winter on the Costa Blanca
The Costa Blanca also offers a wide variety of museums that are perfect to visit when you are on holiday on the Costa Blanca in winter. Are you a chocolate lover? Then don't miss the Chocolate Museum in Villajoyosa! Here you can learn all about cocoa from a brand with more than 100 years of history.
Going on holiday with children? Then the Valencian Toy Museum is an excellent excursion! Here children can have the best time and learn all about the history of their favourite toys.
A long stay on the Costa Blanca?
Want to enjoy the warm climate on the Spanish coast for a longer period of time? Then opt for a long stay at Dormio Resort Costa Blanca! Besides the pleasant climate, you will also benefit from favourable prices.

Alicante is one of the Costa Blanca's main tourist destinations and is particularly charming even in winter. During the winter season, the streets are filled with fairy lights and you can smell the wonderful aroma of chestnuts in Avenida Maisonava, the main shopping area.
If you visit Alicante in winter, you will want to have seen the various cultural attractions, such as the theatre performances and concerts at the Teatro Principal and Teatro Arniches. The cultural centre Las Cigarreras also offers you many fun activities such as exhibitions, workshops and festivals with different themes and styles. Also be sure to visit the special exhibitions at the Provincial Archaeological Museum of Alicante (MARQ), the Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante (MACA) or the Fish Market (Lonja del Pescado).
Delicious gastronomy on the Costa Blanca
Visiting Alicante in winter is also ideal for sampling the excellent gastronomy. With rice dishes as the star dish, this is the time of year when the most typical and well-known sweet of the area appears: turrón (nougat). You can find excellent turron in the city, but if you want a real experience, we recommend you visit Jijona and go from bakery to bakery, choosing the one you like best.
And if you're looking for a bit of a night out, you can experience the "tardeo" in the city centre. We recommend that you start your tour in the market area eating in one of its bars and then head to Castaños street to enjoy the essence of the Alicante "tardeo".
