Feb 9, 2021 | Cumbre del Sol
If there is one thing that characterises Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol, it’s that it’s made up of a large international community. As you know, there are many foreigners who decide to move to Cumbre del Sol and spend their daily lives in a natural, cosmopolitan and unique setting.
The aim of this blog post is, among other things, to explain some of the latest updates regarding the COVD-19 crisis in the Valencian Community and, more specifically, in Poble Nou de Benitatxell.
As you know, the vaccination process has been underway for more than two months in Spain. However, if you are a foreign resident at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol, you should check to see if you are registered in the Spanish Health System so that when the time comes for the vaccination there are no problems. If you are not registered as a private patient, don’t have a SIP card or have any doubts about your situation in this regard, you should go to the Benitatxell Medical Clinic. There they can check each case in a personalised manner every weekday, from Monday to Friday, from 8:00 to 15:00.
In addition, here is a reminder of the telephone numbers for any queries you may have:
Health Centre: 965 73 90 75
Marina Salud: 965 64 86 04
Conselleria: 961 83 90 00
Brexit Situation
Another topic we would like to discuss regarding foreign residents at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol is Brexit. The new situation, which definitively separates the United Kingdom from the European Union, entails certain changes for British citizens in Spain.
Some of the new regulations are related to political matters such as the right to vote or links to political parties; others are in the area of transport, such as traffic or travel, now with more bureaucratic steps to take and other aspects of daily life such as civil protection or residency.
This change in the relationship with the United Kingdom and all that it entails for British citizens living in Spain translates into a multitude of procedures and formalities. For this reason, the Town Council of El Poble Nou de Benitatxell has launched a survey to find out the opinion of British residents in the town. The aim is to get to know each case in order to be able to offer a more personalised service, advising and helping them with whatever they might need. You can access the form here and for more information, don’t hesitate to visit our blog and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

From motivational interviews to sessions to learn how to create your own podcast or communicate through video call applications. Find the scheduling here.
Activities for children under 16
Among the leisure activities we are suggesting, there are plenty of options for the youngest members of the family! Let them bring out their most creative side with the “Storytelling Mascot” contest. To participate they will have to write a story that takes place in the streets of Benitachell and whose protagonist is one of the library’s mascots.
If the little ones prefer reading to writing, the library also organises a “Reading Challenge 2021“. What is the objective they will have to meet? Read a book a month and record a video of themselves talking about it. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
Enjoy with all these proposals for social distancing activities that we suggest for the coming weeks! Staying at home doesn’t have to be boring. And remember to keep a close eye on our blog and our Instagram and Facebook profiles so you don’t miss anything.

Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol is very well located in the northern Costa Blanca region between Valencia and Alicante, two large cities that have a lot of cultural activities, such as concerts, theatre performances and exhibitions that you can visit without having to move far from your home. For this reason, the Teulada-Moraira auditorium, less than 10 km away, invites you to discover its new program. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to reconnect with culture in this very peculiar time we are living in while respecting health regulations.
The great Concha Velasco will be unveiling this new season, beginning on March 14th, with her production La habitación de María. This is an incredible opportunity because the artist has already announced that she will not be back on the stage after this tour.
The next event will feature music. The Valencian group, La Fúmiga, who performs with wind and percussion instruments chose March 27th as their date. The following performance will be by the Emportats group on April 3rd with their La Trocola show. Suitable for all audiences, this performance awakens the senses and proposes a comic and poetic journey thanks to the perfect fusion of juggling acts with acrobatics and music.
Next, we’ll have to wait until June 5th to attend the scriptwriter, humorist and journalist Eugeni Alemany’s show. This event is a mix of humor, fun and improvisation with which you are sure to have a great evening.
Later, the Mayumana Currents Group performance had to be postponed to October 30th when we will finally be able to discover their talent. Theater, dance, music, mime, clowns and even percussion. These four men and four women offer you a unique and incredible show that can be enjoyed by both young and old.
As for Jonatan Penalba’s concert initially scheduled for January 16th, the organisation has had to postpone it and will soon announce the new date. We invite you to check the website regularly and the auditorium’s Facebook page in case there are any changes or cancellations. This is a good opportunity to let you know that the organisation offers the possibility of keeping the tickets or requesting a refund, so don’t hesitate to make your reservation to enjoy these artists.

Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol is a residential development located in an idyllic setting in the Marina Alta region, a region known for its gastronomy, its natural surroundings and its magnificent villages. So, to enjoy nature, there is nothing like a family outing in the area around your home. One of these must-do routes is the 8 villages route (Ruta dels 8 pobles). A curious name, isn’t it? Read on, and we’ll tell you everything you need to know.
This trail connects the 8 picturesque villages of the Vall de Gallinera, in the centre of the Marina Alta: Benirrama, Benialí, Benissivà, Benitaia, La Carroja, Llombai, Alpatró and Benissili. You can do this walk at any time of the year, but we recommend going in March when the cherry trees are in bloom and doing it in one or two trips. If you choose to walk the 15 km in a single day, you can return to the starting point by bus; another option we suggest before starting your route on foot is traveling to the end with two cars and leaving one parked, so that you can drive back once you have finished the walk. The bravest can go through the Serra Foradá on the way there and return through the 8 villages (more than 25 km). However, if you prefer to rest and do the route in 2 days, you can always stay in any of these picturesque villages. The most important one is Benialí, where the tourist office and the town hall of Vall de Gallinera are located.
As you may already know, this 15 km route passes through the valley, so you will find a rather flat and rocky terrain. For this reason, as for any other excursion, we can only recommend that you always wear appropriate footwear, protect yourself well, especially from the sun, and always carry a small backpack with water and a snack. The great advantage of this excursion is that you will find bars and restaurants in every village, as well as fountains and laundry rooms.
The charm of this route lies in the beauty of the valley and the history of its villages. It is an activity that brings you closer to nature and enriches you on a cultural level, as everything you come across takes you back in time. In fact, the Arab origin of these 8 villages is still present in their names. The whole family will be delighted with this adventurous experience.
If you have already done this route and are looking for more ideas, we remind you that this same valley is full of different trails, such as the Benissili castle trail. For more suggestions, don’t hesitate to visit our blog and follow us on Facebook and Instagram– go out and explore the world around you!

With the new year comes a time for reflection, and it’s the perfect time to think about new goals and resolutions. So, if you are short of ideas, we want to give you a hand by offering some suggestions.
If you don’t like the cold and live in an area where the winter is usually intense, you probably dream of going somewhere warmer and sunnier, either to settle down permanently or just once in a while to spend a few days away. The Costa Blanca is the perfect place because of everything it offers: culture, gastronomy, an ideal climate and fantastic beaches. Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol is located in the town of Benitatchell, between Valencia and Alicante, both provincial capitals, each with an international airport so you can get around more easily. It is a residential complex surrounded by nature and close to the sea, allowing you to enjoy magnificent natural parks, beaches and crystalline coves, and various services as you will have everything close at hand: a supermarket, international school, equestrian centre, restaurants, etc. So why not take the plunge this 2021 and move to Cumbre del Sol?
Are you considering building the home of your dreams? Because, if so, VAPF is the company you’ve been looking for. We have been building luxury villas and flats for over 55 years. Our catalogue is very extensive and you´ll be able to choose between a finished model to move in as soon as possible or, if you prefer, you can opt for a property in the process of construction or give free rein to your imagination. To do this, all you have to do is make an appointment with us; we will show you the plots available and the projects that you can adapt to your lifestyle. We want to help you make all your dreams come true, so let yourself be dream big while you take part in how this project comes to life.
We know that starting such an adventure can be scary, but we will take care of everything and, above all, of your well-being. You can also include other resolutions while building this new life, for example:
- Taking better care of yourself. With more than 300 hours of sunshine a year and mild temperatures all year round, your body will no longer have to deal with the effects of big temperature changes, nor will it be lacking in Vitamin D. It is also worth noting that the sea breeze has a series of benefits for your body. In addition, you will be far from stress in a peaceful environment where you can benefit from the pure Mediterranean air from your terrace or from any room in your home thanks to its orientation and large windows.
- Doing more sport. And in Cumbre del Sol there is nothing easier. What’s more, the only problem you are likely to have is choosing between the different activities available. Tennis, paddle tennis, horse riding, hiking, diving, excursions… And all ideal for spending special moments with the family.
- Socialising more. If you choose Cumbre del Sol, you will live in a tranquil area, but also filled with activity as you will be part of a large international community. Although in 2020 we have not been able to organise the events we usually enjoy, we hope to be able to resume them very soon.
We don’t know what the future holds, but we can assure you that you will be very happy at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol. A new life awaits you here, under the Mediterranean sun, with your family right by the sea. We invite you to check our blog regularly and follow us on Facebook and Instagram so you can discover everything we have to offer. Prepare your list of resolutions and achieve them with VAPF’s help.
Dec 24, 2020 | Cumbre del Sol
2020 is coming to an end and it’s time to bid it farewell in the company of our loved ones. We have all lived through difficult times, but the Christmas holidays will hopefully bring a little happiness, joy and magic into our lives. That is why we want to take advantage of this time to be with our immediate family (always respecting safety measures), but above all we want to thank you for trusting us and deciding to be part of the VAPF family.
As you may know, we had to cancel all the events that we are used to holding at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol, but we were very lucky to be able to host one major event: the Region of Valencia Tennis Challenge. But unfortunately, we weren’t able to celebrate Saint John’s Eve, Belgian National Day and our traditional Christmas decoration competition as we do together every year. We did, however, decorate the residential complex to spread a little holiday cheer in this beautiful setting and we invite you to do the same so that Christmas reaches every corner of Cumbre del Sol. Trees, Christmas balls, garlands, lights… let yourself get carried away by this festive season and let’s end the year on a more positive note. Needless to say, we hope to meet again soon at one of the many events we usually organize to take advantage all the many wonders of the Costa Blanca together.
Even so, there are things that do not change no matter what. VAPF will always be by your side and the quality of our services is top rate. We are always available and willing to help you if you have any doubts or problems, and we have even adapted our procedures to the current situation to guarantee your safety and well-being. For this reason, we have written articles with different activities that can be done at home or in the vicinity and we have also launched a new virtual tour service that allows you to see your future home for the first time from the comfort of your current home. We have also organised various regular webinars so that you can get to know our products better and reduce the distance between us. We hope to simplify the purchase of your new home as much as possible so all you have to think about is the life that awaits you on the Costa Blanca. Furthermore, at Residential Resort Cumbre del Sol there are many services available, you will be able to enjoy exceptional surroundings, nestled between the mountains and sea, and you’ll enjoy a home with high quality finishes.
To meet the needs of our clients, we are continuing to build apartments at Blue Infinity, we have apartments and villas ready to move in and we have launched a new development in Altea and La Sella.
VAPF’s success lies in the homes that we offer in exclusive locations, but above all, our success lies with you, because without your support we wouldn’t be able to continue our work. We want to say thank you for this 2020 and rest assured that we will continue as always working to offer the best services and amenities. We wish you an excellent holiday season and hope to see you again in 2021. Thank you and happy holidays!
