Finestrat Costa Blanca Spain

Finestrat is a town, some of which is perched on a cliff edge it is situated approx 5kms inland from Benidorm. Finestrat has a fairly high population of ex pats who bought at the time property prices were a lot lower than the costal resorts and many can be found whiling away a few hours at the popular Molli 2 bar on the main road.

Finestrat has experienced something of a boom over the past four years, with revenue from La Cala de Finestrat and numerous building projects in the area, swelling the coffers of the Finestrat town hall. There is a new children's play area with an extravagant bronze hand which alone probably cost thousands of euros. The road in to the town has been widened and is now lined with expensive lighting. There is also a large sports complex and new housing developments.

MOUNTAIN OUTSIDE FINESTRAT

Finestrat is directly beneath the Puig Campana mountain. The mountain which overlooks the coast at Benidorm has a large artificial looking chunk missing from the ridge. The fable is that a giant broke it off and threw it into the sea, forming what is now Benidorm island.
