A hidden gem, situated on the famous Costa Blanca, Alicante is the capital of its own province and it is also the second most important city in the Valencia district of Spain. This sunny, easy going sea port city appeals to many travelers offering miles of sandy beaches. Also known as the cultural capital of the Costa Blanca, Alicante has created more interest since transforming itself from a rundown old town into a stylish city, with its new harbor complex, clean beaches, outstanding museums, exceptional shops and buzzing nightlife.
Alicante’s location between the mountains and sea provides the city with a captivating beauty which is complimented by a rich cultural history. The city’s main landmark, the Castillo de Santa Bárbara which is situated on Mount Benacantil is an exceptional portrayal of the Moorish history encountered by Alicante.
With its warm and friendly inhabitants, its traditional festivities lighting up the city all year round, and its fresh sea-food paella dish straight out of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, the city of Alicante has reinvented itself into a modern city with endless entertainment, without losing its Spanish roots.
