The Costa Blanca notebook

Costa Blanca South: find your bearings

Start with three useful reference points: San Miguel de Salinas inland, Torrevieja on the coast and the beach areas of Orihuela Costa. The place you sleep and the places you visit do not need to be the same.

Locate the home base first

Our apartment is planned in San Miguel de Salinas. Save the exact building location once the owner provides it, then check routes to the destinations you would use often. A town-centre map pin is not the apartment entrance.

Give coastal plans a specific destination

For Orihuela Costa, choose a named beach or area such as La Zenia, Playa Flamenca, Cabo Roig or Campoamor. For Torrevieja, choose the part of town you intend to visit. These details make route planning more useful than a general regional distance estimate.

Use the area explorer below

Filter the places by your interests and open their map links. These links help with orientation; for an actual journey, use your exact starting point and destination and check live conditions. Plan the airport journey separately from your everyday outings.
