Reduction of IVA does not stop significant price increases in Spanish supermarkets

The reduction of the IVA (VAT) on certain basic foodstuffs, in the fight against inflation, has not prevented prices from rising significantly. This is evident from a study by consumer association FACUA. It requires the Ministry of Consumer Affairs to open an investigation that will result in fines for companies that inflate their profit margins. […]

Pedreguer residents recycle an above-average amount

Residents of Pedreguer are doing well. They recycle more than double the national average. In addition, they recycle a third more than the European Union’s target for 2025.

Welcome, Costa Blanca Radio Audience!

As the name suggests, Costa Blanca Radio broadcasts, in principle, throughout the entire Spanish Costa Blanca.

However the reception is occasionally obstructed by the mountains. Costa Blanca Radio is originally a Dutch-language station, but obviously our aim is to offer an enjoyable music experience to all nationalities living on the Costa Blanca.

You can listen to our station from Alicante to Gandia, which for the permanent residents is from  Marina Baja (Benidorm) to Marina Alta (Denia). CBR is broadcast in the Marina Alta on 97.6 FM and in the Marina Baja on 101.4 FM.

The founders of CBR are Erik de Zwart and Rick van Velthuysen, significant names within the Dutch music business.

Rick van Velthuysen is responsible for the music selection which is specifically compiled for everybody from 9 to 90 years old; which is not an easy task! Yet his success is evident in the fact that not only the Dutch listeners tune in to CBR, but judging from the countless messages we receive, so do many Spanish listeners, as well as German and UK expats. The fact that we play many catchy tunes of singles you might not have heard in a long time, gives people a good feeling and lets them remember “the good old days”.

You can listen to CBR 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 97.6 FM and 101.5 FM, with an occasionally break for advertisements. Yet our first priority is always an enjoyable listening experience.

For those of you who miss listening to us when you are no longer on the Costa Blanca, you can keep listening to our music by tuning into CBR through the media player on this website or via TuneIn.

If you have questions about programming or advertising, please fill out the contact form.

We wish you a lot of fun listening to our station!
