About Valencia
Sixteen places are priced here, and every one of them also belongs to a coast that has a guide of its own. Twelve sit on the Costa Blanca, one of those filed under a Marina Alta label, and four on the Costa del Azahar. Not one of the sixteen sits only on this page: each also appears on a coast guide carrying the same figures. Alicante province holds twelve of the sixteen, Castellon three and Valencia one.
All sixteen carry the same reference month, July 2026, so the ordering from top to bottom can be read as one snapshot rather than as readings taken at different times and then lined up. A little over two to one separates the ends of it, against about two and six tenths across the nine Catalan places priced on the Catalonia page.
Moraira sits at the top and Oropesa del Mar at the bottom, and the top of that range needs a word of caution. Moraira is a nucleus of Teulada rather than a municipality in its own right, so the dearest figure here describes a settlement inside a larger place. A separate and much lower figure is published for Teulada itself, covering the inland village on a small sample, and the two are not interchangeable.

Asking prices compared

How the prices spread
A little over two to one separates the ends of this range. Moraira asks the most and Oropesa del Mar the least, and every figure between them carries a July 2026 reference month.
The top of the order needs reading carefully. Moraira is a nucleus of Teulada, not a municipality, and Orihuela Costa is a district of Orihuela. Two of the sixteen places are therefore parts of larger ones, and a figure for either describes a settlement rather than a town that exists as an administrative unit on its own. The dearest entry on this page is consequently not the dearest municipality on it.
Orihuela shows how far a municipal average can sit from the place a buyer is actually looking at. Four districts are published for the municipality, and the coastal one asks more than twice what Orihuela Ciudad does in the same month on the same index. The municipal average falls between the two and matches neither. Torrevieja is the opposite problem: no district prices are published for it on that same index, so a listing there has the municipal figure to sit against but no district one.
The order is otherwise not what a visitor might expect. Alicante, the largest place here after Valencia city, sits in the lower half, below Moraira, Javea, Benidorm and Altea, none of which has more than eighty thousand residents. The dearest four are all coastal places in Alicante province.
Every figure here is an asking price rather than a sale price.
Who each part suits
Buyers who want a city rather than a coastal town
These two are much the largest priced here, ahead of Torrevieja and Benidorm. Alicante sits in the lower half of the range despite its size, and its largest foreign groups are Colombian, Algerian, Ukrainian and Italian.
Buyers at the top of the range
These ask the most of the sixteen. Moraira is a nucleus of Teulada rather than a municipality, and a separate lower figure is published for Teulada's inland village, so the two must not be read as one place.
Buyers who want a station in the municipality
Alicante has a terminal station where two commuter lines end. Benicassim and Oropesa del Mar each have a station with an address inside the municipality, and four stations are listed in the city of Valencia on a route planner, which is a planner listing rather than a published inventory.
Buyers who want to be on the tram
Line 9 reaches the first four in that order and Line 1 runs between Benidorm and Alicante calling at Villajoyosa and El Campello. The tram is a separate network from the commuter railway and should not be taken for it: El Campello has no Renfe Cercanias station.
Buyers looking at Castellon province
The three Castellon entries all sit on the Costa del Azahar and all three fall in the lower half of the range, with Oropesa del Mar at the bottom of it.

The case for
- Calpe was majority foreign in January 2024
On the Urban Audit count at 1 January 2024, Calpe was the only Spanish municipality above twenty thousand inhabitants where foreign nationals formed a majority. That is a dated position on one count, not a permanent description of the town.
- Alicante's foreign population inverts the pattern
Its largest foreign groups are Colombian, Algerian, Ukrainian and Italian, and the United Kingdom sits outside the ten largest altogether. That is a working Spanish city's mix, and it is the opposite of the coastal towns to the south of it.
- The tram reaches seven of these places
Line 9 reaches Denia, Calpe, Altea and Benidorm, in that order among the places priced here, and Line 1 runs between Benidorm and Alicante calling at Villajoyosa and El Campello. Crossing from one line to the other means changing at Benidorm.
- More than half of Torrevieja is protected land
Fifty-two per cent of Torrevieja's municipal territory is designated natural park, the Lagunas de La Mata y Torrevieja, alongside fourteen kilometres of coastline. More than half the municipality carries that designation.
- Blue Flag beaches at the southern end
Orihuela Costa records ten Blue Flag beaches for 2026, plus the Club Nautico Dehesa de Campoamor, and Guardamar del Segura five. Guardamar has more than eleven kilometres of coast and eight named beaches. Torrevieja's stored count, undated, is six.
The case against
- Several of these places have no station of their own
Torrevieja has no railway and does not appear on the Renfe Cercanias Murcia and Alicante map, and the tram does not run south of Alicante. Guardamar del Segura has no railway and is not on that map either. Javea, Moraira and Peniscola each have no station inside the municipality.
- Benidorm has no public hospital
Both hospitals inside the municipality are private. There is no public hospital in Benidorm, and the public referral hospital for the Marina Baixa is the Hospital Marina Baixa, which stands in Villajoyosa rather than in Benidorm itself.
- Orihuela Costa is treated from another municipality
It sits in the Torrevieja health department rather than Orihuela's, so its reference hospital is the Hospital Universitario de Torrevieja, in a different municipality from the one it belongs to. Guardamar del Segura is in the same department.
- Orihuela Costa has no powers of its own
It is one of eleven Juntas de Distrito in Orihuela, residents' participation bodies chaired by a councillor with no budget and no delegated powers. A district of nearly twenty-eight thousand people is governed from the inland city.
- The AP-7 ring road's toll status is unsettled
The AP-7 Circunvalacion at Alicante was made toll-free in mid-2024, but the arrangement was confirmed only as far as February 2026 and what applies after that has not been established. What driving it costs today is an open question.
Questions buyers ask
- How many places are priced on this page?
- Sixteen, and all sixteen carry an asking price rather than some being left blank. All of them also carry the same reference month, July 2026, which matters more than it sounds: where a set mixes months, two figures placed side by side are readings taken at different times, and part of the difference between them is timing rather than place. Nothing here needs that correction, so the ordering from top to bottom can be read straight.
- Why does Valencia city appear under the Costa del Azahar?
- Because that is the coast it is filed against. The city arrives on this page through the Costa del Azahar rather than through a label carrying the community's own name, so the community and the city share a name without being the same unit. It is worth stating plainly, because a sentence about Valencia can mean a city of more than eight hundred thousand residents or the community those sixteen places sit in, and those are very different things.
- Which is the most expensive place here?
- Moraira, by asking price per square metre, with Javea and Benidorm behind it. Moraira is not a municipality, though. It is a nucleus of Teulada, so the figure describes a settlement inside a larger municipality. A separate and much lower figure is published for Teulada itself, covering the inland village on a small sample, and using that as a Moraira price, or the reverse, would be a serious error. The dearest municipality here is a different question with a different answer.
- Which of these places can I reach by tram?
- Line 9 reaches Denia, Calpe, Altea and Benidorm in that order among the places priced here, and Line 1 runs between Benidorm and Alicante calling at Villajoyosa and El Campello, so crossing between the two lines means changing at Benidorm. The stop named Teulada on Line 9 serves the inland village and not Moraira, a distinction worth holding on to because the two carry separate published prices. The tram is not the commuter railway; they are different networks under different operators.
- Why does a station called Benicarlo-Peniscola not count as Peniscola's?
- Because its postal address is in Benicarlo. A search of the operator's station finder returns exactly one result for the two names, and that station's own page gives an address in a different municipality rather than in Peniscola. The name is the trap and the address is the check. Benicassim and Oropesa del Mar both pass that check with addresses inside their own municipalities, which is why they are described here as having a station and Peniscola is not.
- How wide is this range compared with the Catalan one?
- Narrower. A little over two to one separates the dearest of these sixteen from the cheapest, against about two and six tenths across the nine Catalan places priced on the Catalonia page. The two sets are built the same way and read on the same month, which is what makes the comparison usable at all. A narrower band does not mean the sixteen are alike, only that price separates them less than it separates the Catalan nine.
- Are these prices what buyers actually pay?
- No. Every figure here is an asking price, drawn from a portal's index of the listings published on it rather than from deeds or completed sales, and an asking price is what a seller is advertising rather than what a sale eventually completes at. The two describe different moments in a transaction. A figure taken from a different basis, such as records of what buyers paid, cannot be set beside these and should not be used to fill a gap in them.
Where you might be better off elsewhere
Two things about this set are worth stating before any of the figures. The first is that all sixteen entries belong to a coast that already has a guide, where only four of the nine Catalan places on the Catalonia page do. The second is that all sixteen carry the same reference month, so the ordering needs no correction before it is read.
After that, two cautions. Moraira, the dearest entry, is a nucleus of Teulada rather than a municipality, and a separate and much lower figure exists for Teulada's inland village; the two describe different places and are easy to confuse. Orihuela's coastal district asks more than twice what Orihuela Ciudad asks in the same month on the same index, and the municipal average falls between them, matching neither.
On transport, a station is named where its address falls inside the municipality and not otherwise, and the tram is kept distinct from the commuter railway throughout, because they are separate networks run by different operators.
