Playa Flamenca an Alicante Resort

Playa Flamenca a Guide to the Town - Frankly, Playa Flamenca could not be considered your traditional Spanish village, before the nineteen seventies it was merely a section of splendid but barren shoreline. In the early nineteen seventies a group of Flemish property speculators took it on themselves to build up the area and because of these individuals it's become the well known resort that it is today. Playa Flamenca today, is among the most attractive locations along this stretch of the Costa Blanca coast and the fairly recently refurbished sea path and beach area are a delight to behold. The cliff walk extends all the way from Dehesa de Campoamor to the bustling town of Torrevieja, going past Playa Flamenca on its way, and taking in the first class coastal resorts of La Zenia, Cabo Roig and Punta Prima. Undoubtedly one of the town's primary visitors attractions is its Saturday market which is held each week on the main road going through Playa Flamenca, just beyond the Mercadona supermarket. Holidaymakers and locals descend from all along the coast to visit this exciting and lively street market. A variety of goods can be acquired on the Saturday street market, from freshly grown fruit and vegetables to handbags, flowers, fashion goods, sunglasses and confectionery, be sure to grab a spit-roasted chicken on your visit, dripping with fresh garlic and utterly delicious. Or possibly taste a traditional paella, which you can watch being prepared at the side of the road. Sun idolisers might however go to the beaches. For shopping, having a drink and eating out you will probably pop along to Via Park II along with the Flamenca Beach commercial centre. During the evenings here you are able to watch a live band, catch up on the latest sport, try a spot of karaoke, join in a bingo session or just enjoy a drink. You will additionally locate restaurants featuring meals from all around the world. One of the major draws that attracts holidaymakers to Playa Flamenca is its fabulous weather, experiencing in excess of 300 days of sunshine annually. Though the winter season provides quite pleasant weather, meaning it is a popular spot for winter breaks for anyone wishing to have a break from the long freezing winters of the countries of Northern Europe, the best of the weather is through the months of May through September and this is the time when the town properly starts to hum with vacationers from Spain and Europe heading for the resort. Thus to enjoy the best of of the sun, head over to this wonderful hotspot. With an abundance of courses like the Colinas Golf Club at San Miguel, the La Marquesa course near Ciudad Quesada, La Finca Golf at Algorfa, Lo Romero Golf at El Pinar de Campoverde, the varied golf clubs on the nearby Costa Calida together with the 3 golf courses of the Orihuela Costa, Las Ramblas, Villamartin Golf Club and Real Club de Golf Campoamor being simple to reach, golf is another excuse for families to holiday in Playa Flamenca. I usually recommend Club de Golf Villa Martin as the preferred option for those staying in Playa Flamenca. The town is easily reached from both Alicante and Murcia airports by using either the N-332 coast road or the AP-7 autopista, Alicante airport is forty two miles away and Murcia (San Javier) airport is 15 miles by car.
