LA MARINA LIFE.....

AREA INFO
La Marina is a coastal urbanisation on the Costa Blanca with a population of approximately 3,200 people.

La Marina is approximately 30 minutes drive from Alicante El Altet airport.
La Marina urbanisation was built around the 1980's and has an eclectic mix of races from all over Europe who come together and show community spirit through the numerous fiestas and celebrations that take part each year. This is turn offers a great infrastructure for family life due to the support from the expat community thriving there. La Marina is very well catered for and features a range of shops, restaurants, bars, banks etc. and has regular bus and public coach services north & south along the coast.
SPORTS
Aside from beach activities La Marina offers endless sports and leisure activities including horse riding, bike riding, sailing, yachting, diving and fishing.

You can rent bicycles, play mini-golf, take a diving course, walk across the dunes or salt-flats areas or just enjoy the local countryside and natural environment. Horse riding excursions, quad hire and balloon flights are also to hand.
There are 2 markets that take place in La Marina. One market is on each Thursday and the other is on every Saturday. 'The Mercadillo' in nearby Santa Pola is very popular and takes place on a Saturday. These markets offers local fruit and vegetables, craft work, clothes, leather articles and of course a wide variety of culinary delights.
