City of the Spanish Levant, Alicante has a magnificent location on the shores of the Costa Blanca, dazzling with light, where vast fine sand beaches stretch along the coast, from the Cabo de la Nao to the Cap de Palos. Add to this the radiant sunshine and a particularly mild Mediterranean climate, and you will understand why this peaceful city, far from the bustling Costa del Sol, attracts so many people. Dominated by the fortified headland of the Castillo de Santa Bárbara, Alicante prides itself on its University, a beautiful historical centre, numerous bookshops and the magnificent collections of the Asegurada Museum. Wander through the sloping streets of the old town, stroll between the brightly coloured fruit stands, breathe the sea air and stop to have an ice-cream or a coffee on the way. Good times are waiting for you in Alicante, a wonderful place to stay.
