Alicante is ideal for the budget-conscious, yield-focused investor, and for Eastern-European and international buyers — the coast’s largest such community lives here.
Alicante-Elche airport (ALC) serves the whole Costa Blanca with direct flights from dozens of European cities. The AP-7 motorway and N-332 run along the coast, and the TRAM tram links Alicante to Benidorm. It is 40–50 minutes from the airport to Torrevieja or Orihuela Costa.
The region is the Valencian Community, where the standard resale ITP is 10% — higher than Andalusia. New-builds are taxed at 10% VAT (IVA) plus AJD. Factor these in when budgeting — the purchase-costs calculator gives the exact figure.

Spain is among the safest countries in Europe. Tourist provinces look higher on paper: offenses involving millions of visitors are divided only by the registered population. Most incidents are petty theft in high season; violent crime is rare.

Yes — Torrevieja and its surroundings form the coast’s largest international community: shops, doctors and services in many languages, which makes both living and letting easier.
Alicante–Elche airport is the main gateway, with a wide network of direct European flights; the southern stretch (Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa) is also served by Murcia’s airport. The AP-7 motorway runs the length of the coast, so most properties are under an hour from arrivals.
Summer brings a pronounced tourist peak, but the market does not stop in the cooler months: Torrevieja and its surroundings run on expats and wintering retirees who rent for months at a time. Many owners therefore combine formats — short lets in summer, a winter long let — which smooths income across the year.
