We've got a place just outside Denia in Pedreguer, Javea I think is beautiful. We had a friend who bought a place in Murcia some years ago where every villa looked the same, he said he felt like he was on a Essex council estate with sunshine (no offence to Essex or Council estates, I used to live on one) he also said that they suffered with water problems. Further up the CB coast it seems to be free of these problems.
