About Alicante

Alicante is the sunny capital of Spain's Costa Blanca. Its palm-lined, mosaic-paved Explanada de Espana runs along the marina below the hilltop Santa Barbara Castle, and the lively old quarter of El Barrio and Postiguet beach are a short walk from the port. Its airport makes it a growing homeport as well as a popular port of call.
