Villamartin area, Costa Blanca
The reason we chose Villamartin was because it is an established resort with everything you need for a great holiday. There are shops at the plaza that have the usual everyday needs for a self catering holiday. There are numerous restaurants from Mexican to italian. At night the plaza is lit up with holiday makers dining in the palm covered court with parrots nesting above. There are various bars on the three levels from the Irish bar to "Tommys" the local pub home from home.
The entertainment ranges from disco to karaoke or the singer belting out the old favourites. Music for every age young or old. All in a self contained plaza where the children can play safely. There is also a cinema and bowling alley.
For the golfer there is a challenging 18 hole championship golf course 10 minutes walk from the apartment. The Open was played here some years ago. The golfers can be seen around the resort driving back to their apartments in golf buggies. A further three golf courses are all a short drive from Villamartin. A golfers paradise!
If you want a change from the plaza, there is another development 15 mins walk from Villamartin called Los Dolsis. It has the usual restaurants and bars. There is also a very good Thai/Japanese restaurant which would rival anything in Europe. For the budget minded there is also a chinese restaurant that has a buffet menu for €4.50 per person. It is very popular and you need to get there early.
There are several beaches 5 mins drive from Villamartin, so a hire car would be useful. The beaches are all blue flag and go for miles.
Places to visit on the Costa Blanca
The main town heading towards Alicante is called Torrevieja which is 15 minutes drive from Villamartin. There are all the quality shops you would expect of a larger town. It is also home to the hypermarket for all the smokers and drinkers. It has some lovely restaurants and a large marina. There is a promenade which stretches the length of the town and is lit up at night. A funfair is located at the seafront. The waterpark is also at Torrevieja
Heading towards Cartagenta is the Resort of La Manga, about 40 to 50 minutes drive where the England football team trained. It is the Las Vegas of the Costa Blanca and growing in popularity.
A short drive from Villamartin is the charming village of San Miguel which is well worth a visit. There is a cave restaurant which is built into the hill and you have to book early. There is also a bar called the "peanut bar". It is a local's house who wanted to turn it into a bar several years ago. The Mayor refuse to give him permission (he had upset him somehow). So your drinks are free but you pay for the peanuts he serves with your drink!
