El Campello

If you want a slice of real Spanish life and culture but also access to the beauty and distinct pleasures of this part of Spain, El Campello is the place for you.

For a town situated at the centre of the Costa Blanca, just 20 minutes from Alicante, El Campello somehow manages to retain the chilled-out atmosphere which is missing from many of the region’s better-known tourist resorts. You’ll find a strongly Spanish character here; visit the busy working port and fish market or take part in one of the vibrant, traditional Fiestas. It all adds up to making El Campello a great place to really embed yourself in the Spanish way of life.

History keeps watch over this seaside town in the form of an imposing watch tower that used to warn against pirate raids and now provides views of the delightful beach. You’ll find fascinating architectural reminders of former Arab, Roman and even Bronze age settlements too. El Campello really is perfect if you want to spend your days outside, whether that means enjoying the wide sandy beach or taking long walks in the stunning countryside and mountains. The perfect Mediterranean climate means you will be able to make the most of the town’s natural riches all year round.
