Information about Catral, Alicante
Catral is located in the country side and farming areas of the Costa Blanca Region of Spain. It is within close proximity of two other towns Dolores and Almoradi.
Largely unspoiled by the British invasion of the Costa Blanca region of Spain, the town offers a peaceful, tranquil area to live, well away from the hustle and bustle of what you would find in an equal village in England.
With many people now looking at moving to the Costa Blanca countryside area to avoid the sprawling coastal towns that are becoming little Britain's.
Catral lies about about fifteen minutes inland from the coastal region. Alicante airport is about a thirty minute drive and about the same distance to Murcia airport.
Benidorm is about a half hour further out than Alicante airport if you need you fix of British holiday destination or a trip to a theme park, which is where you will find Terra Mitica and a market known for its cheaply priced goods.
Guardamar and La Marina beaches are within about an easy fifteen minute drive. With La Marina beach being surrounded by a public nature park and my personal favourite beach to visit. Dolores is less than a ten minute drive from Catral along with Almoradi being just a short distance away. Golf courses. Dolores plans to open a new golf course in the next two years. But there are plenty of golf courses within easy driving distance of Catral
They say that there is a market held every day of the week in the surrounding villages and towns. You will be spoilt for choice. Dolores Friday market. Is a small market, but very good with the choice of stalls selling every thing from local grown produce to clothes and electrical items.
Almoradi market is held on a Saturday morning around the town square. Here you will find one of the largest and most popular markets in the area. Again with anything from home grown produce to clothes and electrical items.Sunday markets are another way to spend your money, with a very big one being held near Guardamar.
Here you will find a market in its own dedicated area. The market offers not only stalls full of things to buy, but also an extensive food court, where you can sample every thing from a traditional English fry up to traditional Spanish meals. Well worth making a day trip here. A morning shopping with a meal, followed by an afternoon on Guardamar beach.
