Andrew – Spain Made Simple Airport Transfers
The Costa Blanca in Spain is noted for it’s white sandy beaches, the reliable sunny weather and the picturesque fishing villages which all makes for a perfect summer holiday.
Many tourists arriving at Alicante airport just want to get to their accommodation and resort and most likely will just want to walk to the nearest beach, shops, bars and restaurants.
So for them hiring a car from Alicante is an unnecessary expense and they just want to know how to get from Alicante airport to their hotel, apartment or villa as cheaply as possible.
With transport infra-structure being very limited on the Costa Blanca it is important to be able to find a way of being able to get from Alicante to your chosen resort.
If you haven’t hired a car or are not on a package holiday then maybe you might need to take a taxi, bus or train to your villa, apartment or hotel.
It is always a nice idea to be able to really go on holiday and not have to do any driving. Just make sure that where you are staying in the resort that you are able to walk everywhere you would like to such as the beach, restaurants, supermarkets and shops.
