But there is more to do than beach and sea as Alicante is a city with three thousand years of history behind it. The costa capital has a cosmopolitan charm, with wide boulevards, pavement cafés and an imposing castle located on the summit of mount Benacantil at 166m above the nearby sea.
To the city's north, the coast offers every sun bathing option, from rows of plastic beds to cosy rocky coves. And if you're on a long break to Alicante, experience the real Spain and head inland and discover ancient spas, pine-forests and palm groves set against an Impressionist painting of wild poppies and ochre soil.
Alicante also serves destinations such as Alicante itself, Benidorm, Denia, Calpe, Torrevieja and all points along the Costa Blanca.
