Description
El Campello is a charming coastal town on the Costa Blanca North known for its impressive 23-kilometer coastline and a perfect balance between tourism and tradition.
The town's history is deeply rooted in the past, with the archaeological site La Illeta dels Banyets testifying to more than five thousand years of civilizations from the Bronze Age to Roman times. The climate is exceptionally stable with more than 250 sunny days per year and an average annual temperature of 19 degrees, making it an ideal destination all year round.
The main attractions are the historical watchtower Torre de la Illeta and the lively fish market where every afternoon the daily catch is auctioned in a traditional manner. The local gastronomy is dominated by the rich flavors of the sea, with restaurants that excel in dishes such as "Arroz a la Banda" and the typical "Caldero Campellero" served along the atmospheric promenade. For golf enthusiasts, the location is ideal thanks to the proximity of the prestigious Alicante Golf and the neighboring Bonalba Golf Club, which both offer challenging courses in a beautiful green landscape.
The residents form a warm mix of local Spanish families and a growing group of international residents who greatly appreciate the authentic atmosphere and high level of facilities of the town. The surroundings offer a varied landscape with both extensive sandy beaches and hidden cliffs and bays, while the mountains of the hinterland invite hiking and nature experiences. Living in El Campello offers many advantages, including an excellent connection via the modern tram to Alicante and Benidorm, a quiet living environment with all urban conveniences, and a superior quality of life on the coast.
