Although the Mediterranean coast of France has been attracting tourists for centuries, many overlook the beauty of the equally spectacular west coast. We take a look at some of the highlights of France’s Atlantic coastline. Four regions of France have Atlantic coastlines - Bretagne (Brittany), Pays De La Loire, Poitou-Charentes and Aquitaine. Brittany is likely to be the best known for many British holiday-makers who have chosen to spend time on the west coast of France. Indeed, overseas visitors have been snapping up property here, meaning that some feel that the north-west coast has lost some of its “natural feel”, although there have been associated benefits.
For those wanting to experience Italy without the crowds and the sometimes unbearable summer heat, a tour of the north has plenty that appeals. Let’s take a look at some must-see highlights. The rise of budget airlines has meant that it has never been easier to find a cheap flight to northern Italy. Both Milan and Verona have busy international airports, with flights from most major European cities. Verona is served by regular flights from London Gatwick, making it a perfect starting point for any tour. If you can’t find a suitably priced flight from Verona, then you might also consider Bologna as a feasible alternative.
For many visitors to Spain’s popular Costa Blanca coast, Alicante is the first location in Spain that they see. Those who take the time to investigate soon realise that there is more to Alicante than its airport. Benidorm is the key attraction here for plenty of visitors, with its party atmosphere that has been attracting tourists for many years. Those who choose to stay in Alicante itself have plenty of things to do and see.
