Costa Blanca in March
Around 14.5 °C by day, sea 15 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 of 5.
March on the Costa Blanca is 14.5 °C by day and 15 °C in the sea. Load is 2 out of 5: the season has not started.
March is the month to look at the foreign communities, because this shore is known for them. In Calpe foreign residents are 54.1% of the population, in Torrevieja 49.5%, in Jávea 47.5%, and in Alicante only 21%. A town where every second resident is foreign and a city where it is one in five are different daily lives. A different language around you, different neighbours, and a different pace of learning Spanish.
