CostaMap is an independent, map-first guide to the Costa Blanca — the Mediterranean coastline of Spain’s Alicante province. Most travel sites bury places in endless lists. We start from the map instead: every destination sits at its real coordinates, so you can see where something is before you decide whether it’s worth your time.
How CostaMap is organised
We treat the whole Costa Blanca as one simple hierarchy you can drill down through. Each level narrows the map, so you move from the entire coast to one exact cove in a few clicks.
Coast
The Costa Blanca as a whole — every destination on one map.
Region
The seven historic comarcas, from Marina Alta to Vega Baja.
Municipality
Towns and cities like Jávea, Calpe, Altea and Dénia.
Place
A specific beach, cove, castle, park or viewpoint.
Activity
What you actually do there — swim, hike, explore, eat.
Why map-first
A coastline is a geography problem before it’s a reading problem. Two towns can look similar in a list and be an hour apart on the ground. Putting everything on a map answers the questions a list can’t: how far, next to what, on the way to where.
How we research and what we cover
Every destination is built from cross-checked public sources — local and regional history, geography, official tourism information, and trail and access detail — and each entry’s coordinates are verified so the pin lands where the place actually is. We expand and refresh entries over time rather than publishing once and leaving them.
Who is behind CostaMap
CostaMap is an independent project focused on a single coastline done properly. It is continuously expanded, one verified destination at a time, with the goal of becoming the clearest map-first reference for the Costa Blanca.
