Local market

Raso. Local shops include an English supermarket,

is ideal for a relaxing break and a 10 minutes
drive will take you to Guardamar town and
one of the longest “blue flag” beaches on
the Costa Blanca with white sand beaches
bordered by a large expanse of sand dunes
covered with pines and eucalyptus.

a wonderful landscaped park and is situated
on the Segura river. The history dates back
to the Moors in the 10th century so you

with fireworks and traditional costumes.

activities are catered for such as sailing,
water skiing, wind surfing, the terrain
is also ideal for walking, cycling and horse
