It is located in the eastern part of Spain, and it consists in three provinces that are, from north to south, Castellón, Valencia and Alicante, all embraced by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, which has resulted in some of the best beaches in the whole country.
This is an area in which your touristic experience will be very complete, both during the day and at night, and at any time of the year, although it is an especially popular destination during the summer season.
