Santa Pola

Santa Pola:

Santa Pola is a former fishing village on Spain’s southern Costa Blanca.

The attraction lies in its closeness to Alicante airport and its miles of golden sandy beaches combined with the tremendous climate of the Costa Blanca.   

Santa Pola is a working town that is busy in the winter unlike many small tourist resorts that practically become ghost towns.

Road access to Santa Pola is very good. The AP-7 autoroute (motorway) comes down from Alicante airport which is only 15 minutes drive away

To the south of Santa Pola is La Marina, Guardamar del Segura and Torrevieja. To the north of Santa Pola is Alicante.

The port of Santa Pola is still very much a working port, each evening you can see the fishing boats return with their catches. The port also has a fine marina with many boats moored here.

Santa Pola’s main square is called the Plaza de la Glorieta. This is a great place to gather in the evening, there are many stalls serving Spanish treats, ice cream, drinks and selling gifts.
