Here we leave you a list of the best places that you will never forget.

1. VALENCIA

Valencia has all kinds of cultural and leisure activities. You cannot miss its famous Cathedral or the City of Arts and Sciences, a modern architectural and cultural complex that in 2007 was one of the winners of the 12 Treasures of Spain contest. The city has some huge urban beaches, we recommend Playa de la Patacona, which is not usually as busy as others in Valencia. 10 km south of the city you will find the Albufera Natural Park, a coastal lagoon where you can take boat trips and enjoy nature.

Coming soon, in June, you will have our new Eurochange Valencia exchange office available, located in an unbeatable area, in the heart of Plaza de la Virgen, in the center of the city, where you can change your pounds into euros or any currency you need.

2. ALICANTE

After Valencia, the best known city on the Levante coast is Alicante. It has much more than beaches, like museums and an old town full of life. You don't have to choose between city or beach, because Alicante has the best of both. In Alicante, on calle Castaños 6, you will find Eurochange Alicante, where you can change your currencies into euros or buy the currencies you need for your trip.

One of the most picturesque towns in the province is Villajoyosa, a labyrinth of narrow streets with multicolored facades. The historic town has Roman ruins and medieval walls, and the Faro de La Vila is the perfect place to watch at sunset.

If what you are looking for is partying and fun, do not hesitate to visit Benidorm, known for its beaches and its endless nights. In Benidorm you will find amusement parks such as Terra Mítica and Aqualandia.

3. JÁVEA

One of the most famous beaches in Spain, La Granadella, is located in Jávea (or Xàbia), for those seeking a feeling of exclusivity in one of the treasures of the Valencian coast. Jávea has virgin corners, excellent gastronomy, and 15 viewpoints such as Els Molins or Punta del Castell, where you can enjoy the wonderful landscapes. In Playa del Arenal, the largest in the town, you will find, apart from endless bars and restaurants where you can enjoy the best gastronomy in the area, Eurochange Jávea, to change your foreign currencies into euros. This beautiful coastal town will give you total tranquility.

4. ALTEA

Altea is characterized by its narrow streets with whitewashed house facades that descend towards beautiful beaches. It is mandatory for sea lovers to snorkel and do water sports in its calm and crystal clear waters. Altea has just over 20,000 inhabitants but this town does not lack charm and beauty. Take a few excursions to the viewpoints of Portal Viejo or Santa Bárbara and the route of the hermitages, or get lost in its old town.

5. MURCIA

In the southernmost part of the Costa de Levante we find Murcia, whose coastline is known as the Costa Cálida thanks to its warm waters and the sun that shines more than 3,000 hours a year. The salty lagoon of the Mar Menor has a destination in which to rest and enjoy the sea and water activities. The coast has numerous virgin spaces, beaches such as San Pedro del Pintar and Cartagena, and curious landscapes such as the erosion of Mazarrón. About 5 kilometers northwest of the university city of Murcia is the Castillo de Monteagudo, on an impressive rocky outcrop that rises 149 m above sea level. In addition, the incredible Laguna Rosa in the Parque Natural de las Lagunas de la Mata y de Torrevieja, as its name indicates, is a pink lagoon that you have to see to believe.

In the Region of Murcia you can find Eurochange in Cartagena, Mazarrón, Puerto de Mazarrón and Los Alcázares, where you can exchange your currencies.

6. MOJÁCAR

Mojácar is located 90 kilometers from Almería capital to the north, it is located at the end of Sierra Cabrera and borders Carboneras to the south and Garrucha to the north. This population, since 2013, is included in the network of Most Beautiful Towns in Spain, and the labyrinth of streets of white houses, reminiscent of Mudejar architecture, is one of the essential visits to the province. The town is divided into two well-differentiated urban centers Mojácar Pueblo and Mojácar Playa. In Mojácar you will also find Eurochange to be able to make your changes from Pounds to euros or any currency, both for exchange and for sale.
