La Nucia is located to the northeast of the province of
Alicante, in the center of the region of The Marine Baixa, and one of the most beautiful
and assorted of the coast. Flanked on the north with Polop and Callosa d'en Sarria and Altea, to the
south with L'Alfaz, and to the west with Benidorm, 50 km away. It has highways toward the Coast,
linked directly with Altea, Benidorm and L'Alfaz, and toward the mountains to Polop and Callosa d'en Sarria. At present the villa and their
urbanizations accept a good number of foreigners, and Spanish that reside there do so for a large part of the year. The climate of La Nucia is
typically Mediterranean, with proximity to the sea, and surrounded by high mountains that shelter it from the cold winds of the north. Its relative
height, keeps it from extreme temperatures. La Nucia is an elegant residential zone with 69 housing estates inhabited all year by local and foreign
residents, though this has not changed the customs and beauty of this peaceful village. The series of small rises (tossalets) that comprise the
district are covered in green pine and fruit trees. The Aixortá and the Aitana provide protection from the cold northern winds and ensure an average
annual temperature of 15º C. A good time to visit the village is on Sunday mornings when stalls selling second-hand goods stretch over several
kilometres, constituting one of the most impressive markets of the province. Trips can be made to the old washhouse and up the road through the
white houses, revealing a peaceful village that still enjoys its old customs close to La Nucia.
This region also offers notable beaches of fine sand and shallow waters such as Villajoyosa
(meaning 'joyful' or 'happy' town) and the Palm tree surrounded coastal town of Elche.
For those wanting a quiet relaxing time, the quiet valley towns of Calpe or
Javea are delightful destinations. Other beachside resorts like
Lloret, a popular holiday spot in Catalonia, and Teulada,
more popular among foreign residents. Ibi and
Blanes alternatively offer quiet and tranquil surroundings, for the people who like to relax and emerse
themselves in Spainish culture. Tossa de Mar, a small town with cobbled streets and a magnificent ancient castle 95 Km's short of the french border
is also a popular destination immersed with nature, like Roche, and
Lepe (most famous as the strawberry capital of Spain), just west of Huelva. Find your La Nucia property
