Costa Blanca
Among the most LGBTQIA+ welcoming vacation spots in Europe, the Costa Blanca stands out

Visitors who identify as LGTBIQ+ often praise the Costa Blanca for its welcoming environment, which prioritises diversity, tolerance, and respect. The province of Alicante offers a fantastic value to tourists because to its pleasant weather all year round and diverse range of attractions.
El Racó del Conill, El Cabo de la Huerta, and Moraig are just a few of the hidden paradise coves along the Costa Blanca that are sure to put a smile on anyone’s face at any time of year. Those seeking seclusion and unfettered access to the Mediterranean Sea will find it in its many naturist-friendly coves.
Not only do the scenery represent the destination’s diversity, but so do the experiences it provides. The Costa Blanca is a haven of fun and leisure that caters to all tastes, with attractive accommodations, soothing spas, chill-out terraces, and gay-friendly clubs. Furthermore, the native cuisine, which blends history and innovation, will captivate foodies.
Pretty villages like Altea, El Castell de Guadalest, Polop, and Relleu have picture-perfect landscapes and historical nooks and crannies that visitors may explore on a more personal level. Wherever you go, you’re sure to find a welcoming atmosphere, making it an ideal location for romantic getaways, group outings, or solo adventures.
The Costa Blanca is a one-of-a-kind destination for a memorable vacation thanks to its inclusive and diverse culture, and its rainbow agenda is jam-packed with activities. Beginning at the tail end of January comes the Benidorm Fest, which is responsible for selecting Spain’s Eurovision candidate. With each passing year, this gathering of LGTBIQ+ Eurofans has grown in popularity, becoming an absolute must-attend.
The Drag Queen Competition takes place in February at the Torrevieja Carnival, adding glitz and glamour to the event. In May, Elche hosts the Diversa Cultural Festival, an event that brings together art, cinema, literature, and music to showcase diversity and call attention to community rights.
In June, the Costa Blanca comes alive with a plethora of vibrant events, such CalPride in Calpe, Santa Pola Pride, and the one-of-a-kind Orgull Rural de L’Orxa, which is notable for bringing the Pride celebration to a rural environment. These events mark the beginning of summer.
Orgullo Alacant, held in July, transforms Alicante into a multicultural mecca with a plethora of cultural events, protest marches, and a wild celebration. Orgullo Elx and the iconic Benidorm Pride Festival, which takes place in September and draws thousands of people for a whole week, keep the party vibe going.

Benidorm, police catch man with 600 marijuana plants in his car

A 49-year-old man was caught in Benidorm by the National Police for transporting marijuana plants and other supplies needed for their growth in his own car. A crime against public health has been charged against the man who was caught.
The man was arrested as the last step in an investigation that began when the National Police learnt about his activities in the province of Alicante, which included moving drugs (mostly marijuana) and building infrastructure for future hydroponic crops.
In the beginning, police focused on finding the man and his car. After making sure of both of these things, investigators did a number of surveillance and monitoring operations to confirm how he worked. It was proven that the suspect was carrying drugs and the nutrients needed to grow marijuana hydroponically in people’s houses in the province of Alicante as they drove.
Last but not least, the arrest happened after one of the operations to spy on and track one of the trucks.
When he was arrested, his car was checked, and police found 600 marijuana cuttings, €1,500, two mobile phones, and thirteen five-litre drums of fertiliser and plant growth nutrients.
The arrested man was given to the Benidorm Investigative Court after the police looked into the case.

21 expensive cars that were stolen in the U.S. were found Valencia port

Together with the US Container Security Initiative, the Guardia Civil and the Tax Agency found 21 high-end cars that were stolen in the U.S. and were on their way to Africa in the port of Valencia. The cars, which were worth a total of €1.1 million, were reported stolen and were being moved in containers.
The cars were stolen in the U.S. and were on their way to different places in Africa, stopping in Valencia’s port. Risk analysis units made up of Guardia Civil and Tax Agency officers were able to find several packages that might not have had the goods that were claimed to have been inside.
With the help of the information gathered, it was confirmed that stolen cars that had been in Valencia on their way to the United States had actually arrived. The groups that ship stolen cars either traded legally declared cars for stolen ones or directly declared the stolen cars as other goods, like furniture or mattresses.
In the past few weeks, 21 vehicles have been found and will be sent back to their home countries to be given to their original owners.

14 immigrants were saved on a boat 45 miles off the coast of Alicante

On Wednesday, 2nd April, the Maritime Rescue ship Salvamar Leo saved 14 immigrants who were travelling in a boat about 45 miles from Alicante.
In the middle of the afternoon on Wednesday, Maritime Rescue sent out its Helimer 223 helicopter and the Salvamar Leo, which is based in Alicante, to save the people on a small boat.
Their journey began on the Salvamar Leo, which took them to the Temporary Assistance Centre for Foreigners in the port of Alicante. There, the Red Cross took care of them.
The Red Cross says that all of the refugees they saved were men, and two of them were younger than 15 years old. They were all healthy after being treated.
The National Police took over the refugees after getting help from the Red Cross. They are now trying to find the boat’s captain so they can arrest him, as is normal in these situations.
