What it is
Mediterrània.guide is an independent travel guide to the Costa Blanca, focused on the Marina Alta and Marina Baixa (Alicante). It started in October 2025 with a simple idea: gather in one place, in six languages, the practical information that is usually scattered, out of date or only available in Spanish — how to reach a cove and where you can actually park, what time the mascletà is, what facilities a beach has, which fiesta is on this weekend.
Today it holds 94 cove and place guides, 11 town guides and 108 fiestas and events, 13 of them with a day-by-day programme translated, in Spanish, Valencian, English, French, German and Dutch.
Who is responsible
The guide is edited by the Mediterrània.guide team. We sign as a brand rather than with personal names, but that does not dilute responsibility: the legal owner of the site is stated in the legal notice, and any error can be reported to hola@mediterrania.guide. Technical development is by Alken.
How we work
Every guide is built from official and local sources: town hall and tourist office websites and programmes, the Valencian regional government, the natural parks, the local press and fiesta committees. When two sources disagree (the length of a cove, a bus stop) we say so in the guide itself rather than picking one at random.
- Annual fiestas have a permanent page: every year we update dates and programme at the same address when the official programme is published, and we always link to it.
- Every article shows its publication date and last review date.
- We use writing-assistance tools for drafts and translations; choosing sources, fact-checking and final editing are editorial.
- We do not copy third-party photographs: social media images are shown through each platform's official embed, with credit and a link to the author.
Corrections
If something is wrong or has changed — a car park that is now paid, a fiesta that moved its dates, a beach bar that closed — write to hola@mediterrania.guide. We usually correct within 24-48 hours and show the review date on the page.
Transparency
The guide is free and has no paywall. To sustain it we may include affiliate links to booking services (accommodation, activities, car hire): if you book through them we earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and we say so next to the link. No town hall, business or venue pays to appear in our guides or influences what we say about it. If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be labelled as such.
