Campoamor or Dehesa de Campoamor (do not confuse with Campoamor Golf Resort) is located directly on the coast of the southern Costa Blanca. The place first appeared on the map in the mid-19th century, when the poet Ramon de Campoamor, governor of Alicante, married a young Irish lady named Guillermine O'Gorman. However, only in the 50s of the 20th century this area began to seriously develop.
Today, this area is popular for having a marina, luxury villas with sea views, and long beaches that start from Cabo and go to Mil Palmeras.
