Tourism

The town of Guardamar del Segura is located on the Costa Blanca, 35 kilometres south of Alicante. With a large population living here all year of well over 11,000. During the summer months Guardamar is a very popular destination for the people of Madrid, most own apartments here but some come to use some of the excellent hotel facilities on offer. Prettier than other towns along the coastline, Guardamar has a lot to offer, in its history, its cuisine, & more modern sporting/leisure facilities.

The beaches around Guardamar are very good and the restaurants that you find along the beaches are excellent. They think nothing of you pitching up at midnight and have a meal over looking the tranquil sea. With that bottle of wine or jug of sangria what more could you ask for? The town is famous for its sand dunes. These are formed when the eastern winds push the sand inland from both the sea & the Segura river, creating dunes several metres high. In the past these so-called "flying sands" advanced over 1,300 metres before entering the town. Today pine trees & other plants have been planted, which stop the progress of the sands. As a result a "tree day" is now celebrated in Guardamar, symbolising the importance of the pine trees to the town for the younger generations.
The sheer quantity of trees planted has lead to large areas of attractive parkland (much of it protected), separating the beach completely from the interior in many places. Perhaps the best known section is the Reina Sofia Park, which makes for an ideal late afternoon stroll. Many birds & other creatures also benefit from the ecosystem all this has created.

Guardamar is also well known for its mild climate & the entire region enjoys sunshine for in excess of 320 days per year. The sun is at its hottest during the summer months, with temperatures rarely falling below 30°C (86°F). Winters are typically very mild with averages hovering around 18°C (64°F). Not so with the 2004/5 winter but this last happened 70 years ago.
