SIGHTS OF ALICANTE

If you are in Alicante, visit Plaza del Ayuntamiento. The old square has a stately appearance. Because the buildings have been well maintained over the years, the authentic features are still clearly visible. You can also visit Basilica de Santa Maria in Alicante, a church from the late Middle Ages that is characterized by a simple Gothic architecture. Do you visit Alicante for relaxation in the sun? Take your beach towel with you to Playa del Postiguet. The 900 meters long sandy beach is located at the foot of the mountain ‘Monte Benacantil’ on which stands the castle ‘Castillo de Santa Bárbara’. The cozy terraces are also open in the summer until the late hours. In June Hogueras de San Juan takes place. During this party, the summer is welcomed by thousands of people with a colorful and musical spectacle.
