Autumn arrives on the 21st of September and with it, one of the most magical seasons of the year, the change of season brings with it milder weather, landscapes transformed by ochre and golden tones, and the opportunity to enjoy unique activities on the Costa Blanca, if you are thinking of moving or buying a property in Alicante or Valencia, there is no better time than now to explore the region and get to know what these cities have to offer.
At Broadway Consulting, we know that a home is not just a property, but a place where you can enjoy all that life has to offer.
That’s why we’ve put together some ideas for making the most of autumn in Alicante and Valencia, two of the Mediterranean’s most coveted gems.
Autumn plans in Alicante
1. Explore the Montgó Natural Park
Just a few kilometres from Alicante, the Montgó Natural Park offers perfect hiking routes for this time of year, with cooler temperatures, the ascent to the top of Montgó becomes a revitalising experience from where you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean, with the fresh air and autumn colours creating a unique atmosphere, this is an ideal activity for both families and those looking for a deeper connection with nature.
2. Discover Alicante’s Old Town
Alicante’s old town, known as the Barrio de Santa Cruz, is one of the most picturesque parts of the city. During autumn, its narrow streets and white houses adorned with flowers take on a special atmosphere. You can enjoy a quiet afternoon strolling through its charming narrow streets, visiting local shops, and ending with dinner on one of the many terraces offering Mediterranean cuisine.
Alicante is renowned for its gastronomy and during the autumn there are several gastronomic days where you can sample typical seasonal dishes such as stews, sweet and sour rice dishes and fresh produce from the local market garden. It is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the flavours of the region while exploring real estate options in the city.
Autumn plans in Valencia
1. Wine cellar tour in Utiel-Requena
Autumn is synonymous with the grape harvest, and in Valencia, this means a visit to the Utiel-Requena wine region is a must. Here you can enjoy wine tours, wine tastings and guided visits to local wineries, where you can learn about the wine-making process.
The combination of autumn scenery, golden vineyards and good wine make this an unforgettable experience.
2. Escape to the Albufera Nature Park
A few kilometres from Valencia, the Albufera Nature Park is one of the most peaceful and beautiful destinations to visit in autumn, with its lagoons, rice fields and the unmistakable landscape of wetlands, it is an ideal place to disconnect and enjoy nature. You can take a boat trip at sunset, when the colours of the sky are reflected in the water, creating an impressive visual spectacle.
Autumn is harvest time and, in Valencia, many towns hold agricultural festivals where you can learn more about local traditions and taste fresh produce from the region: fruit, vegetables and artisan products are the order of the day, while enjoying traditional music and dance in a festive atmosphere.
