How about a trip to Spain East Coast

The eastern coastal region of Spain is dominated by 2 geographical features. The Iberian Mountain ranges and the Mediterranean Sea.  The former meanders its way 50km or so inland from the coast throughout most of the region while the latter and it’s gleaming white, pristinely clean beaches, is the main draw for the droves of tourists flocking to this region annually.   

Aside from the hubs of Benidorm, Alicante and other lengthy stretches of the Costa Blanca, you’ll find some lovely, but much quieter beaches throughout the region, some just a short drive from the heaving  sands of the above.  Benidorm and Alicante are, as you’d expect, thriving towns, focused entirely around their beaches, with great nightlife and a vibrant, often youthful scene, but one which is also hugely popular with families and the older generation through the winter months.
Culturally, this is one of Spain’s less attractive regions, except perhaps the region’s largest city Valencia, which has not only the vibrancy you’d expect of a million-inhabitant city, but is coupled with great architecture in a range of locations, from churches and museums, to old gothic buildings and ultra-modern structures beautifully juxtaposed alongside.  The other reason to come here is the food, especially the paella, the world-famous regional dish found all over this part of Spain and is utterly sumptuous with a glass (or jug) of delightful Sangria.
