Costa Calida Attractions - Calblanque
The peaceful beaches are one of the main attractions - the most popular being Playa Calblanque, Playa Larga and Playa de las Caņas. The clear blue Mediterranean waters attract scuba divers from all over the world and it is an ideal location for this more modern pursuit. There are many peaceful coves to explore and due to the remoteness of the area you may even find yourself alone in one of these coves and sit and imagine yourself as Robinson Crusoe marooned on a desert island.
Calblanque has a wide variety of wildlife and you may get to see an endangered species which survives in the area - the sea turtle (tortuga mora). Other rare species include the eagle owl (Bonelli's eagle).

On the outskirts of the park you may be lucky to find the remains of old mines, once producers of silver, copper and tin, a reminder or the area's past history.
Most of all Calblanque is worth visiting for it's peace and tranquility, quiet even in the summer months, it offers a chance to see what Spain's coastline used to look like before the tourist invasion of the 60's and 70's. Visitors should take a moment to think about and thank the local population who fought hard to save the area, which was earmarked for development, and succeeded in having it preserved as a Natural Park in 1987. Long may the tranquility continue!
