Funeral Services on the Costa Blanca for the British Community
The Costa Blanca — stretching from Dénia in the north to Torrevieja and Pilar de la Horadada in the south — is the single most popular retirement destination for British nationals in Europe. Cities like Torrevieja, Benidorm, Javea, Calpe and the Orihuela Costa have British populations that in some areas exceed 30% of total residents.
