Alicante

Alicante, a coastal city in southeastern Spain, is a delightful destination for travelers seeking sun, sea, and culture. The city is best known for its sandy beaches, including the popular Postiguet Beach, and its historic castle, Castillo de Santa Bárbara. Visitors can wander through the narrow streets of the old town, stopping at cozy cafes and tapas bars, or explore the modern marina with its array of restaurants and shops. For a taste of local history, head to the Archaeological Museum or take a stroll through the bustling Central Market.

Sun, Sea, and Sand

Alicante is renowned for its beautiful beaches, with Playa del Postiguet being the city’s crown jewel. This urban beach, located at the foot of the iconic Santa Bárbara Castle, offers golden sands and crystal-clear waters, perfect for sunbathing and swimming. For those seeking a more tranquil experience, San Juan Beach, just a short tram ride away, provides a more expansive coastline with plenty of space to relax.

A Walk Through History

History enthusiasts will find Alicante’s old town, El Barrio, a captivating place to explore. Narrow, winding streets are lined with colorful houses, quaint cafes, and boutique shops. The highlight is the Santa Bárbara Castle, perched atop Mount Benacantil. This medieval fortress offers panoramic views of the city and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, making it a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts.

Culinary Delights

No visit to Alicante would be complete without indulging in its delectable cuisine. The city is famous for its seafood, especially the traditional dish, arroz a banda. This rice dish, cooked in a flavorful fish broth, is a local favorite. Be sure to visit the bustling Mercado Central, where you can sample fresh produce and local delicacies, or enjoy a leisurely meal at one of the many tapas bars scattered throughout the city.

A City of Festivals

Alicante is also known for its vibrant festivals, with Las Hogueras de San Juan being the most famous. Held in June, this fiery celebration marks the arrival of summer with spectacular bonfires, fireworks, and parades, offering visitors a unique insight into local traditions.

Whether you’re basking in the sun, exploring historical sites, or savoring culinary delights, Alicante promises an unforgettable Mediterranean experience.


 

Things to do in Alicante

Concatedral de San Nicolás de Bari

Alicante’s grandest church is a restrained, late-Renaissance affair built between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries over the remains of an older church and mosque. It’s dedicated to Alicante’s patron saint, whose statue occupies a lavishly decorated baroque chapel.

Mercado Central

A gorgeous turn-of-the-twentieth-century covered market, this has an eye-popping collection of stalls selling everything from fresh fruit and veg to just-caught seafood and much more. But perhaps best of all are the counter bars and cafés, a cult spot for afternoon tapas with young locals.

Santa Cruz

Alicante’s Casco Antiguo is an appealingly higgledy-piggledy maze of narrow, mostly pedestrianized squares and lanes. Its most delicious corner is the Santa Cruz district. It’s charmingly run-down, with steep stairways and alleys winding past colourful houses spilling over with flowers.
