What to see in Alicante

Alicante, on Spain's radiant Costa Blanca, enchants with its sun-soaked beaches, historic old town and vibrant culture. With the iconic Santa Bárbara Castle overlooking the city, Alicante offers a blend of history and modernity, making it a perfect destination for seaside relaxation and Spanish authenticity.

Perched majestically atop Mount Benacantil, Santa Bárbara Castle is Alicante's crowning jewel and an iconic symbol of the city. It offers not only a glimpse into Alicante's rich history but also breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline and the vibrant city below. The castle's origins date back to the 9th century, during the period of Moorish rule in Spain. Over the centuries, it underwent various transformations and additions, reflecting the architectural influences of each era. As you ascend to the castle, whether by foot or a short elevator ride from the base of the mountain, you'll find yourself surrounded by historical remnants, including medieval walls, towers and cannons.

Alicante’s Explanada de España is a picturesque promenade that stretches along the city's waterfront, just a stone's throw from the port. Lined with palm trees and a mosaic of colourful tiles that form intricate patterns, it's often referred to as the "Explanada" by locals. This beloved esplanade is the perfect place for a leisurely stroll, a bike ride or simply relaxing on one of the many benches while taking in the Mediterranean breeze. You'll find artists and street performers adding to the lively atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for people-watching.

For a deeper dive into the history of Alicante and the broader region of Alicante, a visit to the Archaeological Museum of Alicante, known as MARQ, is a must. Located near the city centre, this museum offers a captivating journey through time, showcasing archaeological treasures and interactive exhibits that bring the past to life. MARQ is renowned for its innovative and engaging approach to presenting history. It features a range of permanent exhibitions that cover various aspects of the region's history, from prehistoric times to the Roman period, and the Islamic rule through to the medieval era and beyond.
