Alicante with its beautiful boulevard and pleasant shopping street, is one of the most well-known towns on the Costa Blanca. Alicante is a first rate tourist centre thanks to its splendid beaches, excellent climate and well known facilities. Besides its golden beaches and impressive Paseo Maritimo, Alicante has a wealth of history to offer the visitor and has an impressive mountain-top castle. The city also has a range of 18th century manor houses, all worthy of a visit.

Alicante is a cultural centre and has a varied selection of events and fiestas. At the end of June a traditional arts and crafts market is staged in Plaza de la Santisima Faz and nearby streets. The event has a medieval theme. During July and August the new esplanade in front of the port comes alive for the summer festival with constant theatrical performances and concerts.
