Prepare for the Holiday in Advance
There are two main airports for the
Costa Blanca. Alicante and Murcia (San
Javier). If you are not getting transport supplied to
your destination it is a good idea to decide where and
how you can get there, either by taxi, car hire or bus
are the more popular ways. Taxis are great and very
convenient, but can be expensive especially if you don't
speak espanol. By far the most convenient is
car hireg(675437)a(1885194)) , which will give you the opportunity to visit the
surrounding area you are staying in.
Alicante airport. Terminal 2 now open. Big changes.
Very impressive. 4 levels.

If you have a Sat Nav
that has Spain on. Use the post code, usually 5 numbers, of your destination
address. Google Maps
are an excellent way to get the shortest or fastest route. You will need a real
map though. If a long journey, consider motorways, even though there is a cost. |

Alicante has a large
international airport that has had an extension recently
built. It can be confusing. Fortunately there are signs
in both Spanish and English. All the shops and
services are multilingual. Car hire firms desks are on
the floor below luggage collection area. A Spanish
phrase book will be very useful. Holiday resorts ok for
English, otherwise be prepared.
