Ciudad Quesada
Ciudad Quesada is a sunny slice of paradise! Ciudad Quesada is an unusual town because it didn’t exist until the early 1970’s when a Spanish entrepreneur called Justo Quesada Samper decided to start his own town. The urbanisation grew and finally it was accepted as a real Spanish town.
Nestled on the sunny Costa Blanca, Ciudad Quesada is a vibrant and welcoming destination where relaxation, adventure, and Spanish charm blend perfectly! Just 10 minutes from the stunning beaches of Guardamar del Segura and 30 minutes from Alicante Airport, this lively town is a top spot for holidaymakers and expats alike.
