A beach resort town on the Mediterranean coast evokes an immediate sense of relaxation. Alicante embodies this ambiance, offering opportunities to enjoy white sandy beaches, the shade of palm trees, or the charm of its historical architecture. The city’s “old town” is ideal for both strolling and shopping, while the Castillo de Santa Barbara fortress provides some of the best views, accessible through an underground tunnel. Spanish-style dining is a must, so come prepared for a leisurely multi-course lunch, a meal at a seafront café, or a visit to a neighborhood tapas bar in Ayuntamiento. Cultural enrichment awaits at the Museo de Arte Siglo, which features works by Dali, Miro, and Picasso. Founded by the Romans as Lucentum, Alicante continues to live up to its name as the “city of lights,” offering a vibrant experience for all visitors.
