My husband and I are retiring 2023 and are looking at beach communities on the eastern coast of Spain between Sitges and Alicante with the following criteria. I've been looking/researching online; really like Denia, Peniscola, & Altea, but it's hard to get a read just by looking at pictures. We are planning a scouting trip early next year but would love any suggestions of "don't miss" places as we travel down the coast.
- access to bus and train - we won't have a car
- walkable to markets, restaurants, tec.
- area, for the most part, open year round.
- lively area but not into the rowdy bar or nightclub scene
- beachfront properties overlooking the sea
- love to have a promenade
- more of a higher end area - limited on the cheesy t-shirt & pool toy stores.
- crowds and/or kids don't bother us as long as the area is also geared to adults.
- sandy beach, not rock
Thanks!!
