Discover 'secrets of the oceans' on a Costa Blanca villa holiday

People considering a Costa Blanca villa holiday this year will have the opportunity to visit an attraction that offers a fascinating insight into Spain's maritime history.

The Spanish Tourist Office recently recommended several sites that invite visitors to "discover the secrets of the oceans", including the National Maritime Archaeology Museum in Cartagena.

Holiday makers staying in Costa Blanca villas can arrange a day trip to Cartagena to see a range of exhibits at the museum, including Roman ceramic vases known as amphorae.

The attraction also houses a collection of elephant tusks with Phoenician inscriptions and a life-size model of part of a Roman ship.

People who visit Cartagena during a Costa Blanca villa holiday will also be able to explore the Naval Museum, which boasts features including a room dedicated to Isaac Peral, a native of the city and the inventor of the submarine.

Spain's tourism agency recommended several other attractions across the country, including the Maritime Museum in Barcelona and the Galicia Museum of the Sea in Vigo.
