The Costa Blanca would indeed provide you with all the facilities of a good English community, and is only a short flight to and from the UK. I live in Almeria in southern Spain. I chose to live outside of an English community, because it was important to me that my daughter, who was two at the time, would be brought up in a Spanish sort of lifestyle. However, socially, and work wise, both my husband and I work within the English community, and have met many English people along the way. We have a strong English community here in the south in places such as Almerimar, Albox and Mojacar that you could also consider.

EL Campello has got a lot to offer. Not too touristic, a lot of british here (british shop and pubs), close to Alicante airport (easyjet to London Luton, flymonarch etc...),micro-climat, see the website of elcampello

My advice is that you should be looking at anywhere south of Valencia, as pretty much all of the coast going downwards has many expats.

As for where is best, thats for you to discover - lol

there is mass uneployment in Spain. Would you need a visa to work here, do you speak and write fluent Spanish?? There are lots of Spanishe newspapers, I dont know all their names, so really its a matter of surfing I'm afraid
