The climate in Spain can vary greatly from one place to another and often plays a decisive role when choosing a getaway during this season. Since we are in a privileged area and one of the most desirable, we’ll tell you where to go on the Costa Blanca in autumn. This part of Spain is fortunate in terms of sunny days, making it the usual refuge for all those seeking to escape the cold. But don’t worry, because the Costa Blanca, in addition to sun and beaches, has many other beautiful things, and we’ll share them with you so you can enjoy diverse plans, regardless of what your weather app says.

Where to go on the Costa Blanca in autumn: 5 destinations

1. Altea

We can’t give advice on where to go on the Costa Blanca in autumn without mentioning Altea. It is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Spain, so imagine how worth it it is to visit.

If you want to relax by the sea, you won’t have any trouble — Altea has perfect beaches for holidays, no matter the season. Its 6 km of coast intertwines a perfect mix of cliffs, white sand beaches, and coves with stones that will turn your stay into an adventure. In Altea, you’ll find plans for the whole family, and autumn is a beautiful time to visit the town. Its peculiar and walled historic center is full of charming small streets where you’ll find white facades with pots and flowers, artisan shops, and restaurants serving delicious homemade Mediterranean food. Sounds good? Certainly — so much so that you’re already looking for accommodations in Altea.

2. Calpe

This is another of those destinations offering calm and adventure in equal parts. You can come to relax at some of the best beaches in Calpe, enjoy the sun if you’re coming from a cold area, and dine by the sea at one of the many restaurants along the coast.

Do you prefer adventure? Despite the good weather, in autumn temperatures are more friendly for athletes, so many choose long-term rentals in winter on the Costa Blanca. For example, if hiking and heights are your thing, you can climb the penyon of Ifach, but remember to book at least 10 days in advance. Are you coming with family? Then there are many things to do in Calpe with children. So, if you’re wondering where to go on the Costa Blanca in autumn with the little ones, you won’t have any problem. All the places in the area are very family-friendly, offering activities for everyone, and we also have villas in Calpe large enough for the whole family — even cousins, uncles, and grandparents!

3. Moraira

Although perhaps less known than the previous two, Moraira is a village well worth a visit (and possibly you’ll want to come back). With a coast postcard-worthy of beauty, Moraira offers incredible cultural and architectural riches.

As you may know, the area was besieged by pirates for decades and is full of stories and shipwrecks. One notable example is the Castle of Moraira, which is actually a bastion built in 1742 to protect the village of Teulada from Berber pirate attacks. As you can imagine, this is a corner full of history and unique beauty that you cannot miss.
