Christmas Day

Is there a better way of spending Christmas than on one of the glorious beaches of theCosta Blanca??

More so now but originally not a day for the giving of presents, the Spanish families leftthis for Kings Day . The 24th night is family time where extended families will gather andenjoy good food, wine and company. The day of the 25th can also be more of a family daythan one of celebration and noise. With sunny days still the norm, many families willtake to the promenades for their walk or paseo, dressed in their finery for all to enjoy.
