This month foreign residents take off for cooler climes to avoid the heat of summer visitors. In doing so they miss a lot of good entertainment along the Costa Blanca. Everyone loves a cool sea breezes and a dip in the water and it is the sea that is the main attraction for visitors. Especially so around the 16th, the feast of the Virgen del Carmen, official patroness of the fishermen and sailors of Spain. There will be games and fishing competitions, regattas, music, dancing and the maritime procession on the day in most Mediterranean ports. Torrevieja has many other attractions including habaneras and band concerts on the beaches, and the 54th International Habaneras Competition, not forgetting a featured top class musical star in the open-air ground of Antonio Soria Park, where the Friday market is likely to be located. Moors & Christians are held in many neighbouring towns at this time. Check it out at www.torrevieja.com or the plague of top line artistes in Cartagena www.mardemusicas.com
