Your practical guide to budget-friendly experiences.
Costa Blanca is known for its sunshine and beaches, but you don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy it. Local markets like the ones in Torrevieja and Altea offer fresh produce, crafts, and a lively atmosphere for free. Many towns host free outdoor concerts and fiestas during the summer – just check the local council’s website or notice boards.
Nature lovers can explore beautiful walking trails in places like Serra Gelada Natural Park or stroll along the scenic promenades in Benidorm and Calpe. Several museums, such as the Salt Museum in Torrevieja, are free or cost just a few euros.
For cheap eats, try local tapas bars away from tourist hotspots. Many still offer a tapa and a drink for under €3. With a little insider knowledge, Costa Blanca can be enjoyed on any budget.
