Ars Vivendi

A life to live it

Everything that sweetens life only exists together in very few places. The Costa Blanca is one of them. A place with the climate, nature, the people and their culture are combined in a very distinct way, where the art of living has been developed to its highest level.

The Marina Alta gave its inhabitants this immense treasure and attracted new inhabitants from all parts of the world to make them part of this legacy, in a friendly and welcoming way.

Party spirit

The soul full of tradition

To celebrate the summer solstice, the city of Alicante is filled with the smell of gunpowder, music with its typical dulzainas, parades and people crowding its streets, proud to stroll along them while they find huge works of art, which on occasions are higher than the buildings themselves.

It is the “nit de Sant Joan” Saint John’s Eve, the 24th of June.

 

In each corner of this diverse province history is relived to commemorate the great battles that took place between the Moors and the Christians, which the most iconic festivity of this land is named after.

The colour, the luxurious handmade costumes, the parades, the gunpowder and all the passion is on the streets, putting on a show that fills the senses.

The Moors and Christians festivities have their origins in the Reconquista, the Iberian Crusades to recapture the territory from the Muslim Moors in the Middle Ages.

And although they are celebrated in different countries, given the magnificence of this impressive performance in the province of Alicante, many towns have been declared to be of International Tourist Interest.

The peaceful towns nearby: Benissa, Teulada-Moraira, with an authentic Mediterranean taste, which are always welcoming and friendly. The bohemian Altea, the fishing towns of Jávea and Denia, sisters separated by the gigantic Montgó mountain and its Nature Reserve, the cosmopolitan Calpe…

Small Mediterranean towns, ones on the seashore, others inland, which have preserved their century-old charm. Sometimes quiet, sometimes busy and bustling, but always welcoming, perfect for a stroll, shopping, enjoying an aperitif in the square, taking part in the happy exuberance of their festivities and feeling at home there any time of the day.

The body full of life

El cuerpo lleno de vida

Golf courses in the midst of captivating scenery a few kilometres away from Patmore. There are twenty golf courses and clubs in the Alicante province. You can go for a walk, a run or do any sport or leisure activity at any time of the year.

Hundreds of kilometres of roads, paths and trails for all types of cycling.

Sailing in a unique place

Sailing with the wind in the sails along the incredible succession of small islands, coves, cliffs, beaches, crags and rugged rocks, is an unforgettable experience, which can be enjoyed by setting off from any of the marinas near Patmore.

Enjoy the sea

Seabeds full of beauty and emotion, where you only hear your own breathing and the air bubbles rising to the surface. Discover wonderful life forms that seem to have come from another world. However, we are in fact snorkelling a hundred metres from Patmore.

The coast, from the sea or from the land, is a magnificent scene where life is filled with plenitude. Anchoring in a place like the Granadella cove, a few kilometres away from Patmore is an experience that sailors will remember forever. A balm for the soul and a delight for the senses.

Mediterranean gastronomy
a unique experience.

The whole Mediterranean is taken to the table in the Costa Blanca, a place where mealtimes are an occasion to celebrate, a discovery and a lifelong enjoyment.

The riches of the sea and the land have been combined in exquisite, delicious cooking, where authentic flavours are revealed and are happily combined in traditional dishes. Finding that place to delight in eating will become an adventure full of pleasant surprises.

But in addition to that, some of the best restaurants in the country, where real artists create top class cuisine are very close by. Works of art that raise the experience of eating to an aesthetic category, which is appreciated with the five senses.

Live life

The Costa Blanca is a land full of moments of leisure and happiness. Live life; enjoy the evening, its unique places and unforgettable moments.
