Springtime blossoms in La Marina Alta

Like the rest of the Costa Blanca, La Marina Alta is at its best in the summer. Crowds spike from June to September, when La Marina Alta enjoys clear skies and sultry temperatures that hover around the 80s and 90s. Thanks to its sunny Mediterranean climate, fall can still usher in gorgeous beach weather. Even in winter, daytime highs can creep well into the 60s, which means sunbathing's not out the question. The Jalon Valley is especially beautiful in the spring, when its almond trees blossom in a sea of pink.
