Located in the eponymous province, Alicante is one of the most popular destinations on the Costa Blanca. In the south-east of Spain, in an enchanting setting between palm trees, mountains and fine sandy beaches, Alicante is the ideal place for a cultural and exotic holiday.

Sun, beach, seafood and culture: this is how you can briefly summarize what your stay in Alicante could look like. Above all known for its beautiful and sunny beaches, Alicante has a splendid coastline made of light, fine and soft sand, ideal for your relaxing breaks under the Spanish sun. From beaches to coves, from ports to promenades, Alicante will dazzle you with its dynamism. San Juan beach is certainly the best known in Alicante: renowned for its clear water and postcard decor, this beach, dotted with sunshades and small colourful cabins, is popular with sports enthusiasts who enjoy water skiing, sailing, surfing, jet-skiing, bodyboarding and paddling. Its beach volleyball and football fields are often taken over in the summer, as is its promenade, which is full of restaurants, chiringuitos and other bars, perfect for quenching your thirst after a stroll. More in the heart of the city, Postiguet beach is a must: located very close to Paseo de la Explanada, it is appreciated by families thanks to its hammocks, its outdoor sports areas and its diving spots. The beaches of Saladar Urbanova, Agua Amarga (dog-friendly), Almadraba or Cabo de la Huerta will be perfect for bubbling under the sun while enjoying the many facilities available in front of the sea. In the evening, the sea walks are the ideal place for an aperitif by the sea, followed by a restaurant and a festive evening in the bars and pubs of the district... This practice, called here the "tardeo", is almost a national sport in Alicante! A festive place to wish for, this seaside resort offers a wide range of celebrations throughout the year: Holy Week, Carnival, the "Fogueres de San Juan" in June, pilgrimages to the monastery of Santa Faz, and many other celebrations that mark the life of Alicante in both summer and winter.

Alicante, in addition to being a city to live in, is also a city to visit. With a very strong historical capital and a strong architectural heritage, Alicante is a city where you can never be bored. Start with a walk around the Plaza de San Cristobal: with its 15th and 18th century buildings, like the Town Hall and its baroque architecture, Alicante is definitely a city marked by history and art. The Santa Maria basilica and its baroque and rococo decorations (in an old mosque), but also the San Isidro street, the Mendez Nunez rambla, the Barrio Santa Cruz district, the Labradores street, the 17th century Saint-Nicolas cathedral or the Santa Barbara castle are some of the highlights. The latter is particularly worth a visit: perched on Mount Benacantil at a height of 166 metres, this imposing medieval building, with its promontory overlooking the whole of Alicante, its bay and its beaches below. Accessible by foot or by elevator, it offers from La Torreta, its highest enclosure, an incomparable panoramic view at sunset.

Finally, gastronomy plays an important role in Alicante: you will find a myriad of restaurants in which to eat tapas, paella, cold meats, fresh fish, rice in all its forms, "esmorçaret alicanti" (a typical Alicante seafood dish), and other squid, which will undoubtedly delight your taste buds.
