Playa Flamenca Costa Blanca

The Resort of Playa Flamenca - Frankly, Playa Flamenca could not be referred to as a typical Spanish community, up to the 1970's it was just a portion of charming but barren coastline. With the arrival of the nineteen seventies a group of Flemish speculators thought it prudent to build up the area and due to their foresight it's grown into the well regarded resort that it is today. Playa Flamenca right now, is amongst the most desirable locations on this section of the coastline and the fairly recently remodeled beachfront and walkway are a delight to behold. The cliff walkway runs all the way from Torrevieja to Campoamor, going past Playa Flamenca on its way, hugging the tremendous beach resorts of Punta Prima, La Zenia and Cabo Roig. The well known Playa Flamenca market is held every Saturday and people travel from all over to this exciting and vibrant market. Based on the principal thoroughfare of Playa Flamenca, past the Mercadona supermarket, it extends for about one kilometre and while it may get very busy, the wide avenue on which it is held allows plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the many stalls and products. Various products can be purchased on the Playa Flamenca street market, anything from locally grown produce to watches, handbags, plants, clothing and nuts, do remember to snap up a freshly spit-roasted chicken when you are there, flavoured with garlic oil and extremely delicious. Or perhaps get a traditional paella, which you'll watch being prepared at the side of the road. The beaches are obviously where sun idolisers should head for when in the Playa Flamenca area. Via Park I and II along with the Flamenca Beach centre are the key locations for cafes, pubs and shops, and there you will locate everything you should need with regards to entertainment and recreation. There's a big selection of restaurants offering dishes from across the globe, and there are also loads of chance to try a spot of karaoke, watch a live band, catch up on the latest TV sport, test your brain in a quiz or simply enjoy a drink or two. The excellent weather is for sure one of the main attractions for anyone planning a visit to this area and Playa Flamenca isn't an exception, as the resort enjoys approximately three hundred days of sunshine each year. The warmest weather is in the months of May through October and that is the time when the resort truly comes to life with visitors from Spain and Britain descending on the region. However the winter season still offer up exceptional weather conditions, meaning that it is also a popular place for winter breaks for people wanting to escape the long freezing winters of the Northern European countries. So this might be the place to go to enjoy the best of the sunshine. With fine golf courses such as the Colinas Golf and Country Club at San Miguel de Salinas, La Finca Golf at Algorfa, the La Marquesa course at Rojales, Lo Romero Golf at Campoverde, the numerous golf courses along the nearby Mar Menor coast plus the three golf courses of the Orihuela Costa, Villamartin, Club de Golf Campoamor and Las Ramblas being simple to get to, golfing is yet another good excuse for people to head for the resort. I highly recommend Villa Martin Golf as the perfect choice for persons staying in Playa Flamenca. The resort is easy to reach from both Murcia (San Javier) and Alicante airports by using either the AP-7 autopista or the N-332 coastal road, Murcia (San Javier) airport is 22 minutes away and Alicante airport is 42 minutes drive.
