Alacante Centre is friendly and would probably be enjoyable with decent accommodation.

We stayed there in a severe weather event and hence this really tarnished our experience. It is a coastal town and really when it rains there is nothing to do. We found at least half the shops were closed even on a weekday. Brown sludge also in beach

5/5 - Excellent

Alicante is a beautiful relaxed sea side town with lots of things to see and do. Transport in and around Alicante is easy with buses, trams, trains, taxi and the airport all in close proximity.
