Finestrat, the enchanting retreat on the Costa Blanca
In Finestrat you will discover a privileged place that combines tradition, nature and modernity. This charming municipality on the northern Costa Blanca is one of the most attractive destinations for those who dream of a sunny life by the sea, surrounded by mountains, culture and excellent gastronomy. You will be able to enjoy unique experiences thanks to a mild and sunny climate, perfect for strolling through its streets, visiting local markets…
Puig Campana, the natural symbol of Finestrat
The Puig Campana is one of the most iconic mountains on the Costa Blanca, rising to around 1,400 metres and offering spectacular views over the Mediterranean. It is a perfect place if you love nature and challenging hiking.
Some common activities include:
- Hiking at different levels: from medium-difficulty routes to the ascent to the summit, designed for people with mountain experience.
- Trail running and training along its steep trails to prepare for mountain races.
- Landscape photography: the combination of limestone rock, pine forests, views of Benidorm and the sea offers spectacular compositions at sunrise and sunset.
- Picnics and days in nature: in the Font del Molí area, a common starting point for routes, you will find a pleasant setting to spend the day outdoors with your family.
Remember to go well equipped: mountain footwear, enough water, sun protection and, on hot days, avoid the central hours of the day.
La Cala de Finestrat, relaxed afternoons with the Mediterranean as a backdrop
La Cala de Finestrat is a small, well-sheltered bay with golden sand, sharing its surroundings with Benidorm but offering a quieter, more family-friendly atmosphere.
Its main highlights are:
- Fine sandy beach and clear waters, ideal for swimming, sunbathing and relaxing away from the hustle and bustle of large urban beaches.
- Family-friendly atmosphere: highly appreciated by families with children and by those looking for a quieter place with services.
- Wide range of services: bars, cafés, restaurants, shops…
- Good connection with Benidorm: you are just 3 kilometres from all the leisure options, shopping centres and nightlife of Benidorm, with the advantage of being able to retreat to a more relaxed environment.
- Water activities: windsurfing, beach volleyball, children’s activities, etc.
Typical gastronomy of Finestrat
The traditional cuisine of Finestrat is a delicious fusion of sea and mountain cooking. It is based on locally sourced products: olive oil, rice, fish, vegetables and artisan pastries. Among the typical dishes commonly found in the area are:
- Coca Girà: The star dish, a type of savoury pie filled with produce from the orchard and the sea, such as chard, black pudding, onion, chorizo and fried mackerel, all wrapped in a flour-based dough and baked.
- Pebrera Tallada: A hearty stew with peppers, pumpkin, tuna… another example of inland cuisine using local ingredients.
- Rice dishes in their many versions: rice with rabbit and snails, baked rice, and seafood or mixed paellas, closely linked to the coastal environment.
- Arrop amb Talladetes: A traditional dessert made from pumpkin cooked in a caramelised grape must syrup.
In Finestrat you will find a powerful combination of mountains, sea and fine dining. All of this creates a very Mediterranean lifestyle: with good weather almost all year round, you will love eating outdoors, enjoying a good wine, savouring local products and extending long lunches until sunset.
In addition, the location of Finestrat — just a few minutes from Benidorm, Villajoyosa and Alicante — offers a comfortable life full of options: golf courses, shopping centres, marinas and local festivals that extend the summer feeling all year round. Living in Finestrat means choosing well-being, sunshine and Mediterranean joy.
