The province of Alicante is one of the most visited in Spain thanks to its cities, towns, beaches, and other tourist attractions such as museums or restaurants. A combination that makes Alicante an ideal option to spend a few days on vacation. Therefore, we are going to take a small virtual tour so that you can make a list of those places that you cannot miss on your trip to this city in the Valencian Community.
Talking about Alicante means talking about its beaches, the Costa Blanca, and the Mediterranean Sea. We recommend a visit to the famous San Juan beach or Postiguet beach, as it is an almost mandatory stop on this trip. But, in addition, we can also see the famous island of Tabarca, located about 22 kilometers from the capital and 8 kilometers from the town of Santa Pola. It is also the only inhabited island in the Valencian Community with only 51 residents. However, it is classified as a Natural Reserve and it is worth enjoying its surroundings. In addition, in Alicante we will also find beautiful coves with crystal clear waters, such as Cala Mosca or Cala Ferris. In short, Alicante is an ideal coastal destination.
Alicante, in addition to sea and beaches, has an important historical center through which dozens of centuries have passed. Thus, one of the main tourist attractions is its famous 9th-century Santa Bárbara Castle. But not only that, we must also visit the San Nicolás Co-Cathedral or the charming Santa Cruz neighborhood in the heart of the city. Of course, we cannot forget to visit the Explanada de España, which has more than six million mosaics and recalls the popular Rambla of Barcelona.
If you are looking for what to visit in Alicante, you should also go to other areas such as the city's famous port, where dozens of boats of all styles meet. But not only that, but it is an area with a great atmosphere to enjoy its gastronomy. And beyond the capital and its more than recommended walk through the central market, we can also take a route to one of its towns such as Altea, the most beautiful in the region. Although, it also has other cities of great interest such as Benidorm and smaller ones such as Postiguet, but just as beautiful.
In short, in Alicante we will find offers for all tastes thanks to its multiple attractions, from going to a beautiful and hidden cove, to visiting the famous island of Tabarca or its historic center with hundreds of years behind it.
