Kick off your Alicante adventure in the atmospheric Barrio de Santa Cruz. Climb the winding streets lined with colourful houses, flower-draped balconies, and quaint little squares.

Whether you are resting between sightseeing or settling in for the day, this beach never disappoints.
3. Step Into History at Santa Bárbara Castle
Set high above the city, the medieval Castillo de Santa Bárbara offers commanding views and fascinating tales.

It is a journey through Alicante's past with a dramatic backdrop. Do not forget your camera, the golden light near sunset is simply magical!
4. Hop on a Boat to Tabarca Island
Escape the mainland for a day trip to Tabarca, the only inhabited island in the Valencian region.
