Top places to visit

1. Alicante Harbour

Located in the pristine Costa Blanca, Alicante Harbour is the gateway to the Spanish coast.

Today, Alicante Harbour is a primary port of call for cruise ships, ferries and pleasure craft, bringing 80,000 visitors to the area each year. The harbour’s surrounding streets and main promenade buzzes throughout the day and night, with locals and visitors strolling between restaurants and bars.

Red, white and black designs represent the waves of the Mediterranean Sea. The path is busy day and night with people out for a stroll and admiring the view along different points of the route.

Spread over two levels are more than 200 stalls selling mostly fresh produce and meat. Other items such as authentic souvenirs are also on sale here.
