More About Alicante
Explore Beautiful Beaches
Alicante offers some of the best beaches on the coast of Costa Blanca, each offering it’s own unique charm. For a stunning view of Alicante’s skyline head to Platja del Postiguet, ideal for unwinding or taking a dip in the turquoise crystal water. Possibly the best beach for families is Playa de la Albufereta, take a ten-minute tram to escape from the bustle of the heart of the city, as well as offering plenty of amenities. The beach is surrounded by small cultural restaurants perfect for light bites to bring back onto the soft golden sand.

Venture to and explore the underground world of Alicante, a spectacular cavern just a twenty-minute drive away. Observe the various shapes that the rocks have formed into, which also makes a picturesque background for an Instagram post, or step outside tom enjoy some of the best panoramic mountain and sea views in Spain. Drive ten minutes inland from the caves to a small, charming town of Busot. Here enjoy fantastic views of
the countryside and the coast, then finish a perfect day with freshly sourced tapas and drinks.
Experience the Algar Waterfalls
