Holiday Apartment in Guardamar del Segura, Costa Blanca, Spain
Guardamar del Segura is a holiday town popular with the Spanish on the Costa Blanca 33kms from Alicante airport, about 20 minutes drive. The property is on a quiet Residencia about 3kms from the town and 6kms from Torrevieja.
The beach is a 15 minute stroll away and is accessed via a new footbridge across the Guardamar to Torrevieja road. It is backed by pine trees and sand- dunes and is generally isolated although there is a small bar there in the summer months.
If you want a more lively area then you can either walk along the beach or drive in to Guardamar where bars and restaurants line the promenade.
To the rear of the development is a country lane leading to a large saltwater lake that is a nature reserve and very popular with bird watchers.
There is also an excellent riding stable where you can hire horses or learn Spanish dressage. An accompanied ride around the lake takes all day and costs about £25 including lunch.
