About Playa Flamenca
Playa Flamenca is best known for its Saturday market, one of the biggest weekly markets on the Costa Blanca, but the beaches here are lovely too — a series of small sandy coves separated by low rocks.
It is quieter than La Zenia and easier to park at outside July and August.
Playa Flamenca sits on the Costa Blanca in the province of Alicante.
