Alicante, a town with something for everybody
Alicante is an old picturesque city. Visitors can explore the Santa Barbara Castle, the largest medieval fortress in Spain and the old city quarter, while the long waterfront provides a lively area of seaside fun. Family-friendly beaches, such as Postiguet, can be found both in the heart of the town and along the coast. Alicante is also well-known for its exciting nightlife and nightclubs. Visitors can escape the city bustle by taking the boat to Tabarca Island, which is car free and has no large shops or ATMs, so cash is necessary. The tiny walled town on the island is surrounded by a nature reserve.

Festivals and folklore - the best time to visit Alicante
Alicante is an all year destination, with mild winters and very hot summers. The peak season is July and August, when accommodation prices will be more expensive. Summer starts around the 20th June and is marked by bonfires celebrating St John, culminating in fireworks and the burning of large papier-mâché models on the 24th June. The Moors and Christians Festival (Moros y Cristianos) takes place between from 21st - 24th April, with spectacular re-enactments of 12th century battles between the Arabs and the Christians.
