Visit the northern Costa Blanca! 15:14 - Jun 2 with 2665 viewsPegojack

Nothing political in this post from me, my friends, just a recommendation to come to the northern Costa Blanca for your hols when regulations allow, it's fab around here. Forget your Torremolinos, Torrevieja and Benidorm, head here instead for the true Spanish beach holiday experience.
Check out Javea, Denia, Oliva. Fantastic beaches, lovely bars and restaurants.
Me, the missus and two friends have just been to lunch at a family restaurant a couple of hundred metres back from the beach between Oliva and Denia called Chiringuita de Pepe, a favourite of ours.
This is what I had - pre starter, big mixed salad with bread, starter Valencian paella, with pork rib pieces, butter beans, safron. Main course - oven baked quarter chicken portion in sauce with chips. Dessert - coffee flan and cream. Half bottle of red wine. Coffee americano and a glass of whisky equivalent to seven or eight british measures. Total cost 11.50 euros a head, about £10.
The thermometer is just touching 30C as I speak. Afternoon in the pool beckons.
Come and visit!

Yeah! thanks for that, Peg. I’m sat here casting a rueful eye at the clock as I get ready to go in twelve-hour nights.

It’s cheered me up no end...

An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

Sorry, mate, but I earned it! Never mind, retirement will come soon enough, and in the meantime, Jacks are always welcome here (well, apart from a couple).....

I checked the restaurant out, how on earth would your normal punter happen upon that particular establishment?
My taste buds are tingling and salivating over the prospect of eating at such wondrous delights.

Aye, it's a bit off the beaten track, although only a couple of hundred metres from a fab beach.
You've got to be in the know.

Highlight of my short stay in Valencia. Delicious wild boar dish, red wine and great company! Next time Pego CF will definitely take priority over a teenager with a hangover mind ! ;-)

Cheers, matey, come back soon.

When I made the original post, I had no thought of advertising on behalf of my neighbour BUT -
if anyone does fancy a holiday out here, the villa next to mine is a holiday home (two bedrooms, private swimming pool) owned by an English guy who has become a mate of mine in the last year. He uses it himself but also hires it out. No idea of price but I'm told not exhorbitant. Anyone interested, I'd be happy to put you in touch with him if you PM me.

Is there enough in the area to keep my 16 year old daughter interested. We are in it for the food, weather history and scenery but that sucks for a teenage girl.

It's a relatively quiet area, you'd need a car to get around. The beaches get busy in the summer, Javea in particular which is very much a holiday resort. Not much to keep a 16 year old girl occupied except 16 year old boys!

Off the beaten track si where you find all the best places though. Wherever we go (or will go) we usually find a local shop and ask where the locals go!

Apart from Barcelona where we did the very touristy stuff, walked down Las Ramblas and the Nou Camp tour etc.

We don't mind an hour or two by the pool in the evening but we're not beach people, there's too much to see. Valencia I fancy next. Or maybe Italy, virus permitting.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Ive been to Calpe a good while back which was quite pleasant but maybe a trip to Denia may have to be done without the daughter.
