Alicante City - Costa Blanca

AlicanteAlicante (in Spanish Alacant) is the second largest city in the Valencia region of Spain (Comunitat Valenciana).


The city is buzzing with life and you can wine and dine at one of the many restaurants and bars or dance the night away at one of the clubs the city is so famous for.


The Paseo de la Explanada is the best place to go for that evening stroll.


During the summer the 'Trensnochador' (night train) makes enjoying yourself even easier as it connects and drops you off at all the night spots.


If you want to enjoy the tapas bars and restaurants, then the best place to go is El Barrio which is in the Old Quarter of the city.


A local landmark to visit is Benecantil mountain which overlooks the port and city. Perched high on top of the mountain is the beautiful Castillo de Santa Bárbara. You can also visit the nearby Isla de Tabarca (Island of Tabarca) and the 18th century church and castle of San José.


ALICANTE BEACHES
The city is surrounded by beautiful beaches such as La Playa de San Juan which is easily accessed from the road. La Albufereta is smaller and more secluded and El Postiguet is the nearest beach to the city and port. To the south of the city are the nudist beaches of La Playa Salador and Los Judios
