All about Alicante

Situated on the spectacular Costa Blanca coastline, the city of Alicante has a history stretching back more than 3,000 years. Once home to both the Greek and Roman civilizations, Alicante later flourished as a trading port and became a major maritime hub in the 17th and 18th centuries. Alicante’s historical landmarks, such as the magnificent Santa Barbara Castle, are a popular destination today — although the city’s main attraction is its white sandy beach, located just a short walk away from the central shopping area. Other leisurely activities include taking a romantic stroll along the marina at sunset, or taking a ride on the Alicante tram to explore nearby towns and villages. Golf enthusiasts enjoy playing courses located just 15-minutes from the city centre.

Mercat Central d'Alacant

A trip to the city’s main market is an absolute must. Here, you’ll be blown away by the vast array of fresh, gourmet produce available for purchase. Home to more than 300 stalls, the market plays a huge part of daily life here. This is the perfect spot to have an aperitivo and sample local produce while in town.
