Highlights and hidden gems of Alicante

Take a walk at the Explanade de Espana, and be dazzled by more than 6 million ceramic tiles on the promenade floor. Get amazed by the Spanish Boulevard on the seaside. Admire the Baroque façade of the Town Hall and the modernist Casa Carbonell, one of the city’s most striking buildings.

Next, walk down to the quaint old quarter of the Barrio de Santa Cruz and discover quiet streets of colorful buildings. Experience a typically Mediterranean way of life before going to the 17th-century Co-cathedral of Saint Nicholas of Bari, built on the remains of a mosque.

Alicante Central Market is a feast for the senses, a mixture of movement, smells, tastes and sounds difficult to forget. It is worth this visit even if to only admire the architecture of the building and meet the daily life of the people of Alicante.

Explore the charming Barrio de Santa Cruz with your local host, known for its picturesque streets and vibrant atmosphere.

The Basilica of Santa María is a basilica located in the Plaza de Santa María in the Spanish city of Alicante. A baroque church that encapsulates the history of the city and from where we can enjoy fabulous views. The church was part of the city walls and houses an interesting collection of baroque art.

The town hall is the very centre of the city, from where Calle Mayor and the Santa Cruz neighbourhood extend. The town hall was built in the 18th century and houses the measuring point for all heights in Spain.
