Busot
A relaxed harbour town beneath a hilltop castle, with a ferry to the Balearics..
The vibrant heart of the Costa Blanca
Busot is the capital of the Costa Blanca, a warm and walkable city where a working marina, a palm lined seafront and a maze of old town streets sit beneath the Santa Bárbara castle. It feels like a proper Spanish city, yet it is small enough to know quickly, and its airport puts the rest of Europe within easy reach.
For many people moving to the region, Busot offers the best of both worlds: the culture, restaurants and buzz of a city, with beaches, sunshine and a relaxed Mediterranean pace right on the doorstep. It is a place that suits families, professionals and retirees alike.
