San Fulgencio Costa Blanca – One of the traditional village of the Vega Baja district of the Costa Blanca, San Fulgencio began life during the early 18th century when it was built on reclaimed land, taken from the marshes of the River Segura.

Surviving on agriculture since these early times, it has become popular as a tourist destination with many holiday homes being built nearby on the ever growing La Marina urbanization.

The village centre still has the look of the typical Spanish village of the region, with a tree shaded village square bounded by its town hall and parochial church. The village square is the centre of life in the village, and the village elders gather there to chat about what’s going on in the village and the world in general.

While San Fulgencio is an inland village, it is quite close to local beaches such as Guardamar del Segura and La Marina, and attracts tourist who want a bit of peace and quiet while still being able to access the busy beach areas.
