Alicante

Alicante on the Costa Blanca is in one of Spain’s most attractive Mediterranean coastal settings. The Romans named the city Lucentum (‘City of Light’) capturing the charming character of this radiant, palm-lined resort facing the sea.

The siesta is still taken seriously. People relax along the beautiful boulevards and promenade enjoying a coffee, horchata (‘almond milk’) or a granizado (‘iced lime drink’) captivated by this university town basking in the sun of Southern Spain.

Stylish boulevards, a modern yacht port, its picturesque and architecturally interesting old town quarter, modern shopping districts and the palm-lined sandy beaches add to the charm.
