The coastal town of Santa Pola on the Costa Blanca is full of history. The Roman ruins at Portus Illicitanus offer a fascinating glimpse into the towns ancient past and the Renaissance Castle-Fortress built in the 16th century to defend itself from the pirate attacks dominates the picturesque fishing town. In the Archaeological Museum you can admire Iberian and Roman findings and then enjoy some of the more modern attractions of the town. The seafood is of course excellent in Santo Pola and a stroll down to the quaint, lively market shows how important the sea is to the community. It is doubly important because the coast brings in thousands of visitors to enjoy the warm waves and the beaches. Santa Pola is a perfect destination to enjoy a holiday villa surrounded by the history of Spain and the beaches that make it popular today.
