The pearl of the Mediterranean

Alicante is one of the main European holiday hubs, renowned for its long sandy beaches, mild and pleasant climate, vibrant festivals and lively nightlife. This thoroughly Spanish city has a truly Mediterranean air; its wide esplanades, such as the Rambla de Mendez Nuñez and the Avenida Alfonso el Sabio, and its seafront promenades, full of terrace cafes, are perfect for relaxation. Known as the pearl of the Mediterranean, enjoys a wonderful climate year round with splendid beaches that earn the Blue Flag Awards from the EU each year. The Postiguet beach is, believe or not, in the very town centre.

With 500.000 inhabitants, Alicante offers the advantages of a medium-sized city with a cultural life, a young and dynamic university, and a booming economy with century-old traditions like the San Juan Festivities or the "Moors and Christians" celebrations, a revival of the "Reconquista" battles.

Alicante's past is that of any other corner of the Mediterranean Sea, full of history, the main quarter is filled with baroque buildings, bearing testimony to the city's past when it was a major seaport. The area was inhabited well before the Romans, and is still today vitally important in the modern economy of Spain. The vast majority of people speaks Spanish with no special accent.
