Costa Blanca Newspapers and Radio Stations

National newspapers

Many newsagents stock foreign national newspapers from across Europe including German, Dutch and Italian newspapers. The shops may not stock many copies so you will need to be quick to get your favourite paper.

Most of the English national newspapers such as the Sun and Daily Mail are printed in Spain so you can continue to enjoy your favourite newspaper over breakfast. The price is a little different to England though and you do pay more. The Sunday papers are more expensive and you will not get the usual supplements or glossy magazines.
