Wintering at Retiro Sol
Wintering in Denia, Javea or Pedreguer: A Heavenly Retreat
Imagine this: as the days grow shorter and the cold slowly creeps into your bones, you escape the winter blues by basking in the warm sunshine and hospitality of the Spanish Costa Blanca. Denia, Javea and Pedreguer – these enchanting towns, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes of azure waters and green valleys, form the perfect refuge for those seeking a winter filled with warmth, culture and adventure.
Pleasant Climate: A Blessing from the Sun
The Costa Blanca, located in the southeast of Spain, is renowned for its sunny climate, even in winter. While northern Europe may be bleak and cold, the Costa Blanca offers mild temperatures and abundant sunshine. No need for thick layers of clothing here – instead, you can enjoy the invigorating warmth of the Mediterranean Sea, even during the coldest months of the year.
Affordable Living Costs: A Breath of Fresh Air for your Wallet
The cost of living in Spain is generally lower than in many northern European countries. This makes it more attractive to stay for longer periods without denting your budget. Whether you opt for a cozy apartment by the coast or prefer an accommodation overlooking the mountains, you’ll find that your money goes further here, allowing you to enjoy more of what life has to offer.
Rich Culture and History: An Exploration
The winter months are perfect for discovering Spain’s rich culture. Whether you love visiting monuments, archaeological sites or museums, there’s always something to do or see. Many activities are not feasible when the mercury rises above 35 degrees Celsius in summer. Even in the coldest months of January and February temperatures can quickly rise to a delightful 23 degrees Celsius on sunny days.
Delicious Cuisine: A Feast for your Taste Buds
From warm churros with chocolate in the morning to savory paella for lunch and varied tapas for dinner, Spanish cuisine offers comfort food that is perfect for winter. There are also numerous wine and tapas bars where you can enjoy local specialties. Dining out or having a drink on a terrace is still relatively affordable compared to northern European countries. Just avoid the often more expensive touristy locations and opt for authentic establishments where the Spaniards themselves like to go.
Nature and Outdoor Activities: A Playground in Nature
The climate allows you to enjoy outdoor activities even in winter. Whether it’s climbing Montgó mountain, hiking along the beautiful beaches of the Costa Blanca or grab your snorkel and discover the colouful world beneath the waves; there’s something for everyone.
Good Healthcare: Peace of Mind
There are several clinics in the Costa Blanca, where medical professionals are available who speak Dutch, German and English. This contributes to the feeling of comfort and safety for winter visitors who may not speak fluent Spanish. With access to medical care in their native language, they can rest assured that their health needs are fully understood, making them feel at home even when far from home.
Good Accessibility: An Easy Gateway
With numerous direct flights to the airports of Alicante and Valencia, the Costa Blanca is easily accessible. This makes it easy to decide last-minute to seek the winter sun. Or you can quickly return home if needed. Both airports are situated approximately an hour’s drive from the different apartments.
Costa Blanca: Where Winter finds Sunshine
The Costa Blanca boasts the most sunshine hours in Europe, making it the ultimate haven for winter retreats. Denia boasts around 300 days of sunshine each year, while Javea, hailed by the World Health Organization, is renowned for its unique microclimate, making it one of the healthiest places on earth. Enjoy blue skies, golden sunshine and endless outdoor adventures. Say hello to sunny days and goodbye to winter blues on the Costa Blanca; your perfect getaway starts here.
Hospitable Population: A Warm Welcome
The hospitality of the local population is the icing on the cake. Overall, Spaniards are very friendly. The fact that their social life largely takes place outdoors on terraces and in local bars adds an extra dimension to this. The only time you see few people on the streets in Spain is when it rains. And that happens so rarely that they can make your wintering experience a warm and cozy one.
