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.
