Gran Alacant - Visit the salt lakes and a pirate island 

Gran Alacant is a large residential tourism urbanization, which has a friendly relaxed feel. Many northern Europeans have settled here permanently to enjoy the fabulous climate and beautiful beaches and sand dunes that the area offers. www.spain-holid...
It is a perfect place to relax and soak up some Spanish sunshine, since it is a quiet residential area. And when you feel like getting out, a visit to the salt mines or to the Isla de la Tabarca, a former pirate refuge which now houses a marine reserve.
The urbanisation is located on a hillside close to the sandy beaches with many of the properties enjoying a sea view. The area is just 15 kilometres south of Alicante and 6 km from Santa Pola. The international airport at Alicante is approximately 10 minutes drive.
