Car hire on the Costa Blanca
Feb 21st, 2009 by admin
The region of Valencia lies in the east of Spain. It borders Catalonia in the north, with Aragon and Castile-La Mancha in the west, with the region of Murcia in the south, and with the Mediterranean sea in the east. Valencia’s geographical landscape can be divided into two parts: inland and coast. Mountains and rock formations integrated into the Iberian mountain range and the Subbetica range dominate the landscape inland.
Valencia has two major airports: Manises airport in Valencia and L’Altet airport in Alicante. Car hire at these airports is offered by many reputable car hire companies offering a quality rental service at a fair price.
Thanks to its location, Valencia has been the Spanish gateway to the Mediterranean, with the special charm that seaport cities have. The fine sand and crystal waters, the vastness of the open sea, and the proximity of the coastal mountain range lend the Valencian coast a unique appeal. The largest selection of car hire Valencia can be found at Valencia airport.
To the south of Valencia we find the province of Alicante. Alicante is one most important tourist destinations on the Spanish east coast, in the center of the Costa Blanca. The many golf courses, along with the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean Sea, are part of the appeal of this beautiful harbour city, which sits at the foot of the Castle of Santa Barbara, a silent witness to the numerous civilisations to have settled here. Alicante car hire is available from Alicante airport, offering an ample choice of car hire companies inside the terminal building.
Another travel destination for visitors of the Costa Blanca is Murcia airport which is served by several low cost airlines and it is not hard to find Murcia car hire at San Javier airport. The coastline of Murcia is characterised by its sandy beaches. The most beautiful natural wonder on the coast is the Mar Menor. It is a shallow lagoon or pool, which is the largest of its kind in Spain. The water in the lagoon is very salty and maintains a hot temperature (5ºC above the average Mediterranean temperature). It has four openings or passages that lead to the sea. The mountainous scenery of the region is full of foothills that roll in from the Penibetica and Subbetica ranges that help create the Guadalentin river and Sangonera depressions. Prebooking your Murcia car hire guarantees, that you will not pay to much when you collect your hire car at the terminal building of San Javier airport in Murcia.
