Costa Blanca

Welcome to the beautiful Costa Blanca!

There could hardly be a more attractive spot to have an AA Convention!  Based in the delightful small town of Albir in one of the most popular 4-star hotels on the Costa Blanca, the beach is just a few steps away from the hotel  and there are numerous high quality restaurants and cafes within yards.

While you are here we hope you take the time to visit some of the local attractions including the “Artist’s Paradise” town of Altea which is just a short bus or taxi ride away, and also a pleasant beachfront walk if you have a bit more time.

Benidorm is less than 5 miles away, and despite a reputation for a somewhat, ahem, lively clientele in its new town, Benidorm Old Town with its narrow streets and numerous tapas restaurants is well worth the experience..

Slightly further afield but not too far, Les Fonts de l’Algar and the unique Guadalest are popular destinations for anyone spending time in this stunningly beautiful part of Spain.
