No Trip to the Costa Blanca would be complete without a trip to Alicante which lies around 11kms from the main International Airport, El Atlet.
Situated on the Eastern side of Spain on the Costa Blanca, Alicante has a mix of everything, from lively bars and nightlife through to a wonderful palm tree lined promenade.
The summer season is when Alicante can get very, very busy, with tourist flocking here from all over Europe to make the most of the wonderful beaches and great summer weather.
Alicante is also becoming home to more and more expats from the UK, Germany and Holland which is also changing the way Alicante?s tourist trade operates. Once packed in the summer and quiet in the winter the resort now has a more steady flow of tourist throughout the year.
The best place to start exploring Alicante is by the main beach, the Expanada de Espana. Stretching along the length of an elegant boulevard and wrapping around the harbour the main promenade in Alicante is lined with cafes, bars and restaurant which give serious people watching opportunities.
The old quarter of Alicante lies to the north west of the Promenade, El Barro or the old quarter is full of narrow winding streets that are lined with bars and restaurants. This is where those seeking the nightlife should head.
From Alicante you can explore the rest of the Costa Blanca with relative ease; other places that are worth exploring in your hire car are Calpe, Benidorm, Denia and Javea.
