Costa Blanca, the white coast, is a lively coastal region. The mountains descend into the sea in the North, while in the South the white beaches run down to the blue waters in front of huge plains covered with palm trees. Inland the climate has low humidity due to the salt lagoons which draw moisture out of the atmosphere creating a unique dry microclimate.
