Costa Blanca coastal town in Alicante province, anchored by the Montgó massif (a 753m mountain protruding into the Mediterranean) and the Granadella nature reserve. Three main areas: Pueblo (the inland old town), Puerto (the working harbor), and Arenal (the dense beach strip with the famous arc of sand). Same Spain DNV (€2,762/mo, 1-year + 3-year extension); Schengen. Roughly 40-50% cheaper than coastal Barcelona on rent, with a year-round expat community (long-established British, Dutch, and German pockets) and dramatic protected-coast geography.
