Casa Ana

The two most celebrated festivals are the festival of the Moors and Christians and San Juan. The festival of the Moors and Christians, where the historical past of the region is constantly relived, is the celebration par excellence for the inhabitants of the province of Alicante. It is celebrated at a different time in each village, but all are characterized by dances in the streets, parades, music, fireworks, the impressive processions of the arrival of the Moors, the (fake) fights in the streets and the final expulsion of the Moors by the Christians. Around mid-June, the festival of Los Fogueres de San Juan is celebrated, with a papier-mach artwork on every square. At the end of the festive season, on the night of San Juan, all the works of art are set on fire and a big spectacle is created. Other fire rituals, such as the Fallas in March, are mainly held in Valencia, although they are also celebrated in Denia and Benidorm.

When the sun has set and it gets a bit cooler, you can enjoy the nightlife on the Costa Blanca. Alicante, Elche (Elx), Benidorm and Torrevieja have busy entertainment areas with trendy discos, bars and restaurants, mostly located in the heart of the historic center. Those who want it a bit quieter can go to the smaller seaside resorts and enjoy the Spanish atmosphere on a terrace with a nice drink and a snack.

The typical Spanish dishes are also richly represented on the Costa Blanca. The countless (fish) restaurants at the harbors offer you the most delicious local specialities. Those who want to feel at home under a radiant sun will certainly find what they are looking for on the Costa Blanca. In the many restaurants you will of course find the typical Spanish cuisine, but also the favorite dishes of every European. The "tapa" is a well-known Spanish snack, a kind of (drink) snack. The tapas have an age-old tradition in the life of the Spaniard. From eleven o'clock in the morning everyone goes to his or her pub for a (cool) sherry, wine or beer with tapas. That will happen again at the end of the afternoon, from five o'clock. You will regularly discover tapas bars; we hope you visit it sometime. You can indulge in, for example, Gambas, L'Ajillo (large shrimps in garlic), fresh sardines, Calamares Fritos (fried squid rings) or olives.

Water sports: For water sports enthusiasts there are large pleasure ports, where sailing boats and surfboards can be rented. In several places there are diving schools, which provide courses as well as one-day diving instructions. For those who prefer a closer look at the underwater life "dry", there are various options for taking boat trips, such as with a "glass bottom boat". Of course there are also jet skis and pedal boats for rent in various places. Golf: On the Costa Blanca you can play golf 365 days a year in ideal temperatures and often in beautiful surroundings. On the Costa Blanca, many golf courses with a great variety can be found in the Mediterranean landscape. The nearest golf course Bonalba is a 5 minute drive from the villa. Bonalba Golf Course is an 18 hole par 72 course with a length of 6,367 meters. Since its completion in 1995, several very important events have already taken place here, such as the Final of Spanisch National Professionals Tour 97/98, the Spanisch Junior Boys Championship 2000 and the "Costa Blanca" European Challenge' Tour Event 2000. trees, water, fountains, the slope factor and the high number of bunkers with large greens make this course very interesting for both professionals and amateur golfers. Cycling: The Costa Brava with considerable climbs (up to 1500 mtr.) is due to the nice climate (especially in winter) extremely suitable for the avid cyclist, but also has flat parts for cyclists. There are various bike rides from the villa with varying degrees of difficulty. For example, there is a flat route of about 100 km.: El Campello - Muchamiel - San Vincente - Agost - Monforde del Sid - Aspe - La Alcoraya - San Vincente - Muchamiel - Bonalba - El Campello. But a difficult route with a tough climb and a distance of about 150 km.: El Campello-Muchamiel-Agost-Novelda-Elda-Petrer-(Xorret de Cati). Hiking: The mountains of Cabeco d'Oro are foothills of the Jurassic limestone formed during the Alpine Oregenic movements. There are several hiking trails with varying degrees of difficulty and are definitely worth doing. For example, the PR-CV2 route takes 4 hours and requires moderate physical exertion. On the way to the top beautiful nature and once at the top (a climb of about 700 mtr.) the view offers beautiful views. The Cabeco d'Oro is not far from the villa, about 3 km. north of Busot. at the foot, on the southern slope are the caves of Canelobre (see also: various outings).
