      Useful information about the flight from Cardiff to Alicante

      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. If you are unable to find a cheap flight from Cardiff to Alicante, try looking for Bristol to Alicante.
