Visiting Alicante
Millions of people from all over Spain and actually from all over the world visit Alicante every year attracted by the beauties of the city; if you want to know which places deserve your attention and which monuments you should see, then make sure that you create a list.
Your list should definitely contain the spectacular harbor that became popular due to its beachfront; the beachfront offers some of the most beautiful views you have ever seen.
After you spend some relaxing time at the beachfront, go to the pedestrian walkway known as Explanada de Espana; this is actually an absolutely stunning promenade that became famous due to the fact that it is decorated with marbles of three colors: black, cream and red.
In addition to this, the entire promenade is guarded by rows of palm trees, so the atmosphere they create together with the colored marbles is absolutely amazing. When you decide to visit the centre of Alicante, make a stop at the stunning Saint Nicholas Cathedral which is surrounded by the cozy and charming narrow streets that form the beautiful but old quarter known as ‘’El Barrio’’.
The Barrio is also the place where those who are looking for fun will find the best and most active nightlife as well as the place that offers cheap accommodation for those who travel on low budgets.
Alicante has another big advantage for tourists: it is a wonderful gateway to the sunny and warm Costa Blanca. If you are one of those who are interested in experiencing a holiday in the typical Spanish way and with the perfect Spanish flavor, do not hesitate to visit Alicante.
