Things to do and see on your next trip to Alicante...
Alicante is one of the most popular destinations on Spain’s Costa Blanca, and it’s easy to see why. With beautiful beaches, a historic old town, and over 300 days of sunshine a year, it’s the perfect destination for a short getaway.
Visit Santa Bárbara Castle
Perched high on Mount Benacantil, Santa Bárbara Castle offers some of the best views of Alicante. You can walk up to the castle (if you’re feeling energetic) or take the lift from the beachfront. Once at the top, you’ll see stunning views of the city, marina, and Mediterranean Sea.
Stroll Along the Explanada de España
This famous palm-lined promenade is one of Alicante’s most recognisable landmarks. Made up of over six million colourful marble tiles, it’s the perfect place for an evening stroll.
Explore the Old Town
The charming Barrio de Santa Cruz is full of narrow streets, colourful houses, flower-filled balconies, and hidden squares. 'La casita de las macetas azules' is a must-see!
Take a Day Trip to Tabarca Island
Just a short boat ride from Alicante, Tabarca Island is a beautiful escape from the city. Known for its crystal-clear waters, it’s a fantastic place to spend the day and do some snorkelling.
