Top places to visit

1. Alicante Harbour

Located in the pristine Costa Blanca, Alicante Harbour is the gateway to the Spanish coast. Since most of the city’s maritime industry moved to Valencia in the 1980s, Alicante Harbour has been given room to redevelop into a tourist destination. 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.

2. Postiguet Beach

A full day exploring the sights of Alicante may leave you searching for the perfect place to cool off and refresh yourself before the evening’s revelries. Look no further: the centrally located Postiguet Beach is the ideal spot to go for a revitalising swim in the Mediterranean Sea. Situated adjacent to the Alicante Harbour, Postiguet Beach can easily be reached by walking from the city, making it a great spot for a quick dip.

3. Campello Beach

Some of the character of coastal towns along the Costa Blanca has changed due to decades of tourist development, but El Campello has retained its original and authentic charm. El Campello and its beach are a scenic seaside getaway with all its southern Spanish traditions alive and well. Hit the beach for some of the coast’s best watersports or stroll along the fishing harbour and see boats coming in and out of the bay. A wander along the white-sand beach will show you intriguing beachfront architecture and a stress-free way of life perfected by the locals. Visitors to Alicante will find a great family-friendly daytrip on Campello Beach.

4. Explanada de Espana

Evening strolls are so ingrained in Spanish culture, they even have a word for it: “paseo”. Enjoy a perfect paseo along the Explanada de España, the promenade that begins at the busy Alicante port and winds along the coast. More than 6 million marble tiles make up its patterned surface. 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.

5. Central Market

Food is a huge part of Spanish life. Keeping up the long-held tradition for national dishes and tapas is one of the great passions of Spain’s people. The Central Market is an enormous fresh produce market in the centre of the city that marks the beginning of the day for many Alicante locals. 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. The market is a great place to start your day of sightseeing, as you can pick up some good quality food to prepare a cheap and healthy picnic. The best part of the visit is seeing a traditional Spanish food market in action.

6. Alicante Golf Course

Marked with a lake in the shape of an “S,” the designer’s initial, there is no doubt that Alicante Golf Course is a source of pride for both Severiano Ballesteros and the people of Alicante. Opened in 1998 to cater to both the increasing numbers of Spanish golf players and the many beachgoers looking for somewhere to play golf between dips in the sea, it now serves as a championship course that is also beloved by amateurs. Bring clubs or rent some and try the ingeniously designed challenges of the greens.
