Taking Time Out In Costa Blanca

Sierra Aitana Mountains offer up amazing views of inland forests of date palm-Elche. Sometimes in winter, these mountains may even be witness to snowfall. For animal lovers, there is Aitana safari park that will offer spectacular experiences with views of elephants, giraffes, lions, tigers and many more animal species besides.

You will encounter two different types of climatic conditions there depending on the time of year. Generally, it is from March to mid November that the Philippines are very warm - around about mid to high 30 degrees centigrade in daytime. Hence light clothing is to be preferred. And if your destination is some remote area or a forest, then an insect repellent and a water container as well as a map will prove to be effective if not a necessity. Also, wear comfortable footwear, as you may end up walking a lot. If you are using public transport - buses and taxis - then do carry loose change around to make things more convenient. If you wish to travel with your own car, then understand that some cities follow various driving rules (number coding ordinance).

Adopting new customs, traditions and culture will hopefully be a refreshing experience, so try to visit during major events, celebrations and festivals which is a great time to be introduced to traditions and cultures of the country. For many services, tipping may be expected, so keep in mind that it should be 10% of your entire bill.

With a huge number of flamingos, Calpe Las Salinas is another favorite destination in Costa Blana. After visiting here, you can simply follow the coastal road that circles Benissa and reach Moraira, where you can tempt yourself with the moscatel grapes - famous for their use in wine production.

Citutat de les Artes I les Ciences is the largest science theme park as well as aquarium in all of Europe. The park resides in the city of Valencia. The park offers themes based upon various parts of the world including the Atlantic, the Red Sea, mangrove swamps with a variety of fish life and the Arctic with penguins to name but a few.

Another theme park well worth a visit is known as Tierra Mitica Ancient Civilizations, and is located not far outside Benidorm.
