Come and join the party atmosphere of sunny "Costa Blanca", the coastal area of the province of Alicante which spreads from the north of Denia to Roig Cape. Come and swim in a warm sea and try out some of the most popular watersports. A town like Benidorm doesn't need any introduction and the resorts around have no cause for being jealous... The harbours and coves of charming Calpe, the small town of Santa Pola and its feudal castle...so many places to discover! And if crowded beaches are not your kind of fun, then don't despair, the area has plenty of other secrets to reveal, from wonderful landscapes to exquisite gardens, wild mountains to an hinterland of Moorish remains...
Before leaving this enchanting corner of the world (provided you would ever want to leave...), don't miss Alicante, the provincial capital of this "White Coast", and Elche, well known for its extraordinary palmgroves.
Italy is a ravishing beauty, and the very mention of Florence & Venice (at random) conjures up the splendour of the country's glorious past. No need to be a connoisseur to marvel at Rome's antique architectural treasures or the sumptuous frescos in the Sistine Chapel. Sicily & Sardinia, the most well known islands of the peninsula, will tempt you through a whirl of images, colours and sounds.
Italy is a real feast for the senses through the warm welcome of its people inviting you to partake with specialities drenched in sunshine & olive oil and served with fine legendary wines.
Tall mountains, vast lakes, small wild creeks and green meadows make for a heaven answering every traveller's prayer. Whether your dream is to bathe in the shade of a flowering orange tree or ski down the snow covered slopes of Abruzze National Park : Italy is expecting you.
A word of advice from Lagrange : Don't miss the bargains in and around Vintimiglia's market (in the Gulf of Genoa).
