FINDING a cheap holiday spot away from the crowds almost feels impossible right now.<\/p>\n

However, there is a small Spanish coastline you most likely won't have heard of that ticks both boxes.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Here's everything you need to know about Costa del Azahar.<\/p>\n

Why Costa del Azahar?<\/h2>\n

Found between Valencia and Costa Dorada, Costa del Azahar translates to the Orange Blossom coast.<\/p>\n

However, it is often overlooked by tourists heading to the nearby city of Valencia, or other seaside resorts such as the Costa del Sol or Costa Brava.<\/p>\n

Despite this, the seaside has stunning white sand beaches, as well as bars and restaurants lining the coastline.<\/p>\n

And according to A Place In the Sun, Costa del Azahar is seen as the "real Spain" due to being lesser-known by holidaymakers and developers.<\/p>\n

Flights are just over two hours from the UK as well, making it an easy getaway.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What are the best Costa del Azahar holiday deals?<\/h2>\n

Holidays to Costa del Azahar are much cheaper than other Spanish seaside resorts, starting from \u00a3108pp.<\/p>\n

According to LoveHolidays, a seven-night holiday is around \u00a3726 on average – working out to \u00a3182pp.<\/p>\n

For example, you could stay at Apartments Pe\u00f1ismar I y II 3000 for seven nights, with return UK Vueling flights, for just \u00a3182pp during the October half-term.<\/p>\n

Travel outside of October half term and this drops to just \u00a3108p for the seven-night package holiday.<\/p>\n

On The Beach also has stays from \u00a3632, working out to \u00a3316pp.<\/p>\n

What is Costa del Azahar like?<\/h2>\n

The 71-mile-long coastline is known for its beautiful beaches, which don't attract the same numbers as other seaside resorts.<\/p>\n

Pe\u00f1iscola Beach, which has a Blue Flag, is popular with families due to its shallow waters making it safer for kids to play in.<\/p>\n

It also has a huge castle, which was the residence of Pope Benedict XIII in 1411.<\/p>\n

Tourists have praised the "beautiful beach" for having "pristine white sands" too.<\/p>\n

Other highlights of Costa del Azahar include the many orange and lemon groves found in the nearby Spanish countryside, also popular with hikers.<\/p>\n

There are also a number of festivals throughout the year, with the most famous being the Festival Internacional de\u00a0Benic\u00e0ssim\u00a0(FIB), with headliners this year including Franz Ferdinand, Bastille and Zara Larsson.<\/p>\n

While famous for its fish, don't forget to try out the local dish Fideau, a type of paella that uses pasta instead of rice.<\/p>\n

Don't expect many Brits at Costa del Azahar either – it's mainly Spanish tourists who visit.<\/p>\n

One Brit tourist said on TripAdvisor: "Things I found that there were not many bars playing music during the evening, also found there were more German and Spanish tourists than British."<\/p>\n

What else do I need to know about Costa del Azahar?<\/h2>\n

To get to Costa del Azahar, the best way is to fly to Castellon Airport from the UK.<\/p>\n

Ryanair has cheap flights from just \u00a315 each way.<\/p>\n

There are no restrictions to travel to Spain right now, although you will need at least three months on your passport.<\/p>\n
