Mountains everywhere
by rachel_sun
The north costa blanca has mountains and valleys everywhere.There are beautiful valleys full of orange and lemon trees surrounded by mountains.Go for a drive and take in the scenery.There are lots of shops,restaurants etc along main roads and its well worth stopping and having a look,drink etc.
On the coast road to Moraira from Calpe,there are loads of roads that lead to beautiful secluded bays.Just look for signs saying"plaja"
Stop at the Algas bar just before Moraira for a drink and to take in the great views and music.
