Famous for its many parks, stunning architecture and gardens, Alicante is a taste of Africa more so than a taste of Spain.

Places to see here might include the stunning medieval architecture of the Castell de Santa Barbara and the old quarter Villa Vieja. Expect to see cobbled alleyways and mosaic decorations at every turn. The Explanada d'Espanya leads you to the beautiful harbour that is peppered with majestic palm trees swaying in the sea breeze.

Twelve miles from Alicante city is the airport but don't let that put you off exploring this intriguing place. It is a great place to stay with all the interesting attractions being within walking distance of one another.
