Alicante is the second largest city in the region after Valencia and has a very rich history. Are you a culture lover? Then you will find lots to explore in this coastal city. You can easily fill your city trip with the best sights. Walk up Monte Benacantil mountain to visit the Castillo de Santa Bárbara, an impressive ninth century castle. From there, you have a beautiful view over the city, the impressive city hall and the old neighbourhoods such as El Barrio de Santa Cruz with its whitewashed houses. Walk and admire the sights. Make sure to take an occasional break at one of the many tapas restaurants. In a romantic mood? Stroll down the boulevard Explanada de España: over 600 metres framed by rows of palm trees, wavy tiles and the setting sun create a magical setting. In the covered Mercado Central market hall it's easy to get lost in the smells and colours and taste the local cuisine.
Of course, popular seaside resorts such as Benidorm, Moraira and Torrevieja are always a great destination for a sun holiday by the sea. An all-inclusive stay with hotel on a sun-drenched beach is easy to find. Just like the tapas, wines and authentic markets. And all of this within a short drive from Alicante. Would you like to explore the region a bit more? Book a rental car with Transavia Holidays and plan your road trip.
Drive to the unique mountain village of El Castell de Guadalest and visit the area. The 220 inhabitants of the village overlook an ancient castle, green mountain peaks and a clear blue lake. The province is also home to beautiful natural parks such as the Marjal de Pego-Oliva and Peñón de Ifach. Walk or cycle to discover the beauty of nature. There is plenty to experience in Alicante!
