When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Reachable from Valencia (1h45) or Alicante (1h30) — either airport works. The Marina Alta peninsula has the best Mediterranean climate stats in Spain by some accounts. Sea reaches 22°C by mid-June, still 25°C in early October. The town's a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy; the paellas at El Trampolí or El Pegolí are calibration meals.
Pre-filled from New York.
