La Nucía – Europe’s Sports City and a Lifestyle Destination

Perched in the mountains above Benidorm, La Nucía is quickly becoming one of the most exciting towns on the Costa Blanca. Recognised as “Europe’s Sports City 2024” by the European Parliament, this vibrant town is ideal for sports enthusiasts, families, and anyone seeking a balanced Mediterranean lifestyle.

A Hub for Sports and Active Living

La Nucía has earned its title as Europe’s Sports City thanks to its state-of-the-art sports facilities. The town boasts a large, modern sports complex currently expanding to over 72,000 m², with facilities for football, tennis, athletics, cycling, and more. Innovative projects such as a land-based surf park are underway, and plans for a specialised sports hospital and hotel will make La Nucía a magnet for athletes from across Europe.

Whether you enjoy team sports, individual training, or adventurous outdoor activities, La Nucía offers endless opportunities to stay active in a beautiful mountain setting.

More Than Just Sports

While sports are central to the town’s identity, La Nucía also offers a rich lifestyle and community. The town has excellent amenities, including supermarkets, cafés, schools, healthcare, and cultural activities. Local fiestas, markets, and social events create a welcoming atmosphere for both locals and international residents.

Nature lovers will appreciate La Nucía’s mountain trails, scenic viewpoints, and proximity to the Puig Campana, perfect for hiking, cycling, and photography. And the Costa Blanca coast is just a short drive away, offering beaches, water sports, and seaside dining.

Attractions for Families

For families, La Nucía is exceptionally well-located. Popular attractions such as Terra Mítica, Mundomar, and Aqualandia in nearby Benidorm provide entertainment for all ages, while the Fonts de l’Algar waterfalls and historic villages like Guadalest offer opportunities for exploration and cultural experiences.
