Highlights

Unforgettable Alicante walking tour with aperitif at Santa Barbara Castle

Passeig Esplanada d’Espanya - Take a walk through the Explanade of Spain and be dazzled by more than 6 million ceramic tiles on the floor of the promenade. Be surprised by the Spanish boulevard on the seashore. Admire the baroque facade of the town hall and the modernist Casa Carbonell, one of the most striking buildings in the city.

Castillo de Santa Barbara - Take the elevator to the fortifications of Santa Barbara Castle, located on the strategic mountain of Benacantil. Get panoramic views of the city and its bay while drinking a glass of Alicante wine

Concatedral Sant Nicolau de Bari d’Alacant - Then, walk to the picturesque old town of the Barrio de Santa Cruz and discover the quiet streets of colorful buildings. Experience a typically Mediterranean lifestyle before going to the 17th-century St. Nicholas of Bari co-cathedral, built on the remains of a mosque.

Barrio Santa Cruz - Along the way, see some of the most emblematic buildings and historical areas of the city, and experience the real atmosphere of Alicante and its citizens.

Alicante Town Hall - We will visit the town hall square and know its history, construction details in addition to the town hall building and its facade.

Mercat Central d’Alacant - The Central Market of Alicante is a feast for the senses, a mixture of movement, smells, flavors and sounds difficult to forget. It is worth this visit if only to admire the architecture of the building and get to know the daily life of Alicante.

Very interesting tour - The guide Serina, was very interesting and knowledgeable and showed us all around the old town of Alicante and up to the castle for great views a very interesting day. The second day we had a visit to a local wine shop and tasted some very good wine, we then went around the market and tasted some more wine and sampled some food, then she took us to a local bar for some special Alicante sandwiches and some more drink and then to a cafe to sample another Alicante drink and nougat. A good insight into Alicante to let us know where to go for the rest of our holiday
