This walkway, covered in more than 6 million marble tiles, leads from the port and hugs the curving coast. As you walk, follow the red, white and black designs on the esplanade that depict waves on the Mediterranean Sea. Join the crowds of locals and tourists who are on the path day and night.

5. Alicante Town Hall

The two 41-metre (165-foot) towers of Alicante’s historic Town Hall rise over the city’s Old Town. Built where the Casa de la Ciudad (town hall) once stood, the Alicante Town Hall (or Ayuntamiento), is one of the city’s landmark buildings. The interior, featuring two ornate rooms and a small chapel, is just as gorgeous as the façade. Tour the inside and notice the paintings by local artists that hang on the walls. Visit a permanent exhibition on archaeological digs that have happened in the region. This small museum is located in the newest part of the Town Hall along with the offices of the city council.
