Formentera del Segura is a small village close to Benijofar and Rojales in the Vega Baja (low fertile valley) region of the southern Costa Blanca, Spain, in the Alicante province. Formentera del Segura sits on the banks of the River Segura and the river has been very important in the survival of the village. Formentera del Segura has its share of fiestas and celebrations, however there is one unique to Formentera - “The Day of the Bicycle”, in which many of the villagers take part in a race to celebrate the past and present “brotherhood of the people of the village”. The Day of the Bicycle takes place in May. In Formentera del Segura May is known as “The Month of Flowers” and there are many celebrations including a grand procession in honour of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception. A major celebration takes place in August (the last week of the month), to pay tribute to the patron saints of the village San Miguel (Saint Michael) and San Roque, culminating in “The Day of the Sardine and Wine”. Formentera del Segura has a good selection of bars, restaurants and shops and a pleasant village square (plaza) where the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) can be found along with the traditional fountain. Separated from the main village is another more modern area known as “Los Palacios” (the palaces). Formentera del Segura is also close to the Parque Natural de La Mata y Torrevieja, a huge natural park area with many scenic walks and a wide variety of flora and fauna. Also nearby are the cave dwellings at Rojales and the famous Shell House – both worth a visit if you are in the area. Near by Torrevieja, is a typical Spanish town which not only has some good beaches, it also has an excellent street market every Friday morning and some brilliant shops, bars and restaurants. There's also some more good beaches south of Torrevieja at Cabo Roig and La Zenia and if you go a few minutes north of Torrevieja, you'll find the excellent beaches of La Mata, (which is also called Torrelamata) and Guardamar del Segura, both also win the Blue flag awards every year for their cleanliness, safety and facilities etc. Buses – There is public transport to the local beaches but I have never used them and can't say if they are reliable. Local Taxi – There are phone numbers in the apartment for local taxi services Car Hire – Its pretty cheap nower days, if you do hire the rules are changing to do with the paper counterpart, check the goverment website. I would recommend hiring cars full to full. You can hire cars straight from the airport or pre-book, I use skyscanner. The Costa Blanca has over 100 kms of sandy beaches and rocky coves and many of the beaches have the coveted European Blue Flag signifying cleanliness and safe bathing. The Costa Blanca is a beautiful region with mountains stretching along most of the coast. The A7 motorway (with some toll sections) stretches from north to south along the coast. The N-332 also runs parallel yet is free from charges although much slower as it passes through the middle of many towns. The Costa Blanca has the best all year round temperatures. The climate is recognised as one of the best in the world by the World Health Organisation. Many people with arthritis come to the Costa Blanca and within days feel much better. In the winter months the Costa Blanca is lucky enough to have nearly as many sunny days as in the summertime.
