Blue Flag beaches, coastal walks along the Mediterranean and around 320 days of sunshine a year.
Many consider Cabo Roig the gem of the southern Costa Blanca, known for its sandy beaches, beautiful villas and scenic coastal paths along the Mediterranean – with views all the way to Torrevieja in the north and La Manga in the south. The beaches of Cala Caleta and Cala Capitán hold the Blue Flag award for environment, services and safety – and not least their beauty.
There are excellent restaurants both down by the sea and along the main N-332 road. The old harbour is well worth a visit. Sailing is the big sport here, but other water sports are on offer during the summer months too. Overlooking it all is the old watchtower, Torre Vigía de Cabo Roig.
The Costa Blanca enjoys around 320 days of sunshine a year and an average annual temperature of about 18 °C – perfect for swimming, sailing, golf and walking, even in winter.
Weekly markets are a long-standing Spanish tradition. You will find fruit and vegetables, cured meats, fresh bread, rotisserie chicken, flowers, clothes and much more – usually cheaper than in the shops, and a little haggling is often welcome. Most markets open around nine and close at half past one.
