Living in Pilar de la Horadada
The southernmost town of the Costa Blanca: quiet beaches, golf and the rhythm of a real Spanish town.
Where the Costa Blanca ends and the real Spain begins
Pilar de la Horadada is the southernmost municipality of the province of Alicante — the last town of the Costa Blanca before you reach the region of Murcia and the Mar Menor. Unlike the larger tourist towns further up, Pilar is first and foremost a real, working Spanish town, with a lively centre, weekly markets and an agricultural tradition (the area is known for its artichokes and vegetables).
On the coast lie the resorts of Torre de la Horadada and Mil Palmeras, with long, quiet sandy beaches that often hold the Blue Flag — Las Higuericas, El Mojón, Playa del Puerto. The water is clear and the atmosphere relaxed: this is a coast where Spanish families spend their own holidays, and it shows.
Around Pilar there are also well-known golf courses, such as Lo Romero Golf and Vistabella Golf, with plenty of new-build homes on or near the fairways. And thanks to its location close to Murcia airport and the Mar Menor, here you combine the best of two coasts.
With good value, plenty of new-build and an authentic atmosphere, Pilar de la Horadada is loved by those who want to combine peace, beach and genuine Spanish life. At Tu Travesía we help you choose both the right property and the right location.
