El Campello
El Campello is the main resort at the
northern edge of Alicante City. The centre of the old town is
located 2km from the coast on a small hill whilst the main
tourist area is built around the former fishing area. After
many centuries, and despite the modernization of the heart of
the Costa Blanca, El Campello inhabitants have preserved and
provided their town with a dual character, both rural and
cosmopolitan.
El Campello has a varied and attractive
coastline of 23km in length. At the extreme north, next to the
Coveta Fuma, there are cliffs and small coves of sand, gravel
and rocks with clear water. Alongside the Port and the fishing
area you will find El Campello yacht club and there is an
urban beach that runs parallel to the seaside promenade. This
is a lovely walk especially when lit in the evening. Here you
will find numerous restaurants and tapas bars where you will
be spoilt for choice deciding which type of meal to enjoy.
Finally, there is the beach of Mutxavista, made up of fine
sand and with all types of facilities, which runs for 3km to
the south. There is a diving club that organizes dives at
various points of the Costa Blanca and a fishing village has
been built amongst the cliffs that recreate the image of a
traditional Mediterranean village.
