Ciudad Quesada:

Ciudad Quesada (formerly Villa Quesada) was founded and expanded by Justo Quesada, a building developer from the area. There used to be not only houses, but also a golf course and an airport.

A very short drive will take you to your favorite beach on the Mediterranean, where you can enjoy the pleasant climate of the Costa Blanca.
