Treat yourself to a holiday in Santa Pola and discover the seafaring tradition and the splendid natural surroundings of this beautiful town on the Costa Blanca.

Not only can Santa Pola claim be one of the main tourist destinations of the Spanish Levante region, but it is also host to one of the most historic ports. Make the most of the great deals for cheap trips to Santa Pola to discover the Ensanche de Poniente de la Villa and admire the archaeological remains of the port, which date back to the Roman period. You’re sure to be surprised by the former salting houses that date back to the 4th century BC, as well as the Roman residence there. The port’s fusion of antiquity and modernity is fascinating, as the port today offers modern facilities that allow a range of sport and fishing boats to moor there. Take advantage of the opportunity to visit the market places and the Casa del Mar, as they are both living proof of the seafaring tradition of Santa Pola.

Another reason why you should book a package holiday in Santa Pola is the beautiful island of Tabarca: you’ll be stunned by its walled enclosure and spectacular marine reserve. Continue your journey through the history of the city and take in the castle, which presides over the town centre. Nowadays it’s home to the Cultural Centre of Santa Pola, and in it you’ll find the Sea Museum and the Fishing Museum, among other interesting cultural attractions. Of course, you mustn't leave Santa Pola without first taking a dip on its magnificent beaches, be it the Levante, the Varadero or the Gran Playa. In addition to offering beautiful beaches, you can also practise all kinds of water sports there. Between activities, you can always take a break to replenish your energy and taste the excellent local cuisine, where paella steals the show.

So now you know, start planning your trip to Santa Pola today. The town enjoys excellent transport links with the rest of the peninsula and the main European capitals, so all you have to do is set a date for your trip and start enjoying your holiday.
