EXPLORE ALICANTE
A weekend by the Mediterranean
Beaches, old streets, local markets and late dinners come together in one of Spain's most inviting coastal cities.
Alicante brings together many of the experiences people love about Mediterranean living in one compact setting.
The city makes it easy to move between the beach, historic streets, local markets and restaurants without feeling rushed.
Start the morning by the sea, explore the old town as the streets come to life and take time to discover local shops and food markets.
As the afternoon cools, the promenade becomes a natural place for a walk before dinner. Alicante's evening atmosphere is one of its greatest attractions, with plazas and terraces staying lively late into the night.
For visitors and future residents alike, a weekend in Alicante offers a glimpse into a lifestyle built around sunshine, culture and connection.
