Alicante

If you like the beautiful Mediterranean beaches, Alicante will be a paradise for you. The sun, with its shiny dance on the deep blue sea, opens the door to the world of light and sand of the Costa Blanca.

Welcome to one of Spain’s main holiday destinations, where swimming clothes are just as shiny as the neon lights of Alicante’s nights, when dozens of bars paint a pretty and fun picture of the city. Alicante is a dynamic city, looking toward the open sea while resting on its magnificent harbour, and you can at best observe it from the heights of the Santa Barbara castle where the stones smell of gun powder and History. Iberians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, Catalonians and Castilians left cultural, commercial and social marks of their visits.

A province which combines in its unique way the most traditional and the most cosmopolitan, where you will find bustling cities rubbing shoulders with small fishing villages (and their fantastic fish auctions!), cliff-bordered coasts, quiet beaches, unforgettable islands - a true contrast in the best sense.

You will have to take a leisurely walk through the port and down the Explanada de España, where tall palm trees look down on a multitude of outdoor cafés. It leads you to the port, which is also part of the “tapas and copas” area (snacks and drinks). When night falls, the eastern pier turns into one of the liveliest areas, which finds an echo in the vitality of the commercial and leisure centre “Panoramis” on the western pier.

Come and visit this very Spanish city with an important cultural and artistic offer. You will discover a charming place with authentic people. Academia Contacto: the best for you.
