Weekend Getaways – what do you like best?

Weekend getaways are ideal for enjoying your free time in the best company, so let us suggest some ideas to inspire you.

Enjoy the sea and the mountain in Calpe

If you visit Calpe, you cannot miss the Roman Baños de la Reina. You can also snorkel in any of its magical coves, such as Les Bassetes, El Penyal or El Racó.

A visit to the Natural Park of Penyal d’Ifach is a must. With over 45 hectares, it is one of the most iconic natural landscapes of the Valencian Community. The access to the summit has recently been reopened to the public, so it is worthwhile reaching the top and enjoying the spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Find unique treasures in Jalón

In Jalón, there is a very interesting flea market every Saturday morning, where collectors and lovers of vintage objects can find authentic marvels. Spending time among antiques and other quaint articles is a good plan for your weekend getaway.
Furniture, home furnishings and cameras are just a few of the discoveries you can make, each of them with a story that the merchants will be happy to tell you about.

Amazing gastronomic experience in Benimantell

Although its modern menu will surprise you, we recommend you savour the traditional offer:

• If there is a dish that stands out among the cuisine of Benimantell, it is the olleta de blat (wheat stew). A whole week is dedicated to it every November. But it is also worth trying a spectacular baked lamb, rice or minchos (fried pastry).
• For those with sweet palates, almond cakes and coques cristines will be perfect for dessert.

Wine tourism in Alicante

If in addition to eating well you are passionate about wine, on the Costa Blanca you will find a great variety of wineries to taste the best wines of Alicante. Would you like to book a guided tour and make a toast with your partner for your weekend getaway? For the record, the most popular varieties in Alicante are Moscatel de Alejandría, Monastrell and Alicante Bouschet.

All these plans will help you to organize charming weekend getaways, which will be a true delight for the senses. If you would also like to know other surprising towns, check out this post where we recommend 5 charming villages to visit in Alicante.
