Glorious golf on the Costa Blanca
On Spain’s southeast coast, with Alicante to the north and Cartagena to the south, Orihuela is an attractive area with a handful of sandy beaches and strollable marinas to explore under sunny skies. But the top golf courses get the lion’s share of attention in this pocket of the Costa Blanca. Coveted courses here include Las Colinas Golf & Country Club, Vistabella Golf, and Campoamor Resort.
If you're not here for golf, you won’t be disappointed with the beaches. There are some gorgeous Blue Flag numbers on the Orihuela coastline. Or, if you’re looking to watch authentic Spanish life unfold, you could visit the region’s namesake town, which sits a little inland and has the River Segura running through it. The land surrounding it produces incredible citrus fruits and almonds, which you’ll find in abundance on local menus. Find somewhere to enjoy the flavours after exploring the town’s historic sites, which include the Orihuela Cathedral.
