Top places to visit

1. Alicante Harbour

Arrive at Alicante Harbour by boat and join the 80,000 visitors who dock here each year. Since the 1980s, when the city’s maritime industry was transferred north to Valencia, Alicante Harbour has been a tourist haven. Cruise ships, ferries and pleasure craft are constantly arriving here each week. Search the bustling area around the harbour to take your pick from a range of bars and restaurants. Many attractions on the east coast of Spain are just a boat ride away.

Next to Alicante’s bustling harbour district, Postiguet Beach is the most convenient place to cool off in the city. Spend the day climbing Mount Benacantil or wandering the Old Town and then go swimming at Postiguet before the sun goes down. Swim in the Mediterranean and explore the rock clusters that hide tide pools and sea life.

4. Alicante Golf Course

Marked with a lake in the shape of an “S,” the designer’s initial, there is no doubt that Alicante Golf Course is a source of pride for both Severiano Ballesteros and the people of Alicante. Opened in 1998 to cater to both the increasing numbers of Spanish golf players and the many beachgoers looking for somewhere to play golf between dips in the sea, it now serves as a championship course that is also beloved by amateurs. Bring clubs or rent some and try the ingeniously designed challenges of the greens.

Alicante’s biggest attraction is also its oldest. The Castle of Santa Bárbara is over a millennium old, dating back to Muslim rule of the region in the ninth century. Despite its age, the building is almost completely intact. Crowning Mount Benacantil in the northeast part of the city, the Castle of Santa Bárbara sits 166 metres (545 feet) above sea level and overlooks Alicante. It is among the largest medieval castles in Europe today, covering the whole summit of the mountain.
