Alicante Experience

Alicante city is a wonderful gap in this winter

Advantages: Excellent weather, warming sun, gorgeous seaside, awesome nightlife
Disadvantages: Beaches might be too crowded in the summer, no winter sports to do

...and do a bit of Alicante travel. The first place to visit is the gorgeous beachfront by the harbour, then along the main pedestrian walkway, the ´Explanada de España´, a stunning promenade by the sea decorated with black, red and cream marble and surrounded by beautiful palm trees nearby the street shops and cafes. This is a striking place where you can enjoy an outdoor seafront concert in the balmy summery Sunday mornings and bank holidays. Touring ...
...de Italia´ we bump into the main tourist information and post offices as well as the central bus and train stations of Alicante city. I found a lot of tips about alicante city at http://www.aboutalicante.com/ and I think this will be interesting for other people planning to visit Alicante. Greetings ...

Review of La Bodega del Garroferal, Murla

Alicante

Advantages: Beautiful,Clean city
Disadvantages: Expensive,hilly,hardly any English spoken

...having a day trip to Alicante a couple of years ago (Well actually 2 hours on a Thomson excursion) while staying in Benidorm,my wife & myself decided to use my last 4 days holiday entitlement to have a short break in Spain & found a really good value holiday in Alicante courtesy of Easyjet. The idea was that 4 days would give us plenty of time to have a good look around the city & as we are into that sort of thing,the castle. The flight went OK ...
...Benidorm. On the return to Alicante we added up how much we had spent & were shocked that all we had spent all day including the tram fare & shopping was 39 Euros - 2 Euros less than just a meal & drink in Alicante. In summary Alicante is a great place for a holiday if you can speak Spanish or like pasta & pizza for every meal,unless of course you can afford steaks every night. Hardly anyone there speaks English so if like us you don't speak Spanish ...

playa la guardamar

Advantages: beautiful sandy beach
Disadvantages: people trying to sell you things!!!

On a recent holiday to alicante spain i visited the south and went to a beach called guardamar. The beach itself is georgous with pale sands and plenty of loungers and unbrellas to hire but i prefer to lay on the sand as you can lay on a lounger anywhere!. The sea is clean but can be quite wavy as i done bodyboarding and i must say its quite a good beach for bodyboarding! but i wouldnt let children go in although there are lifeguards which patrol ...
...wont come in there to ask you!. That said though they did not ruin my experience at guardamar its a superb beach not equall to ones in the carribean but enjoyable! so if you find yourself in alicante make sure you take a liuttle trip to guardamar and enjoy. ...

MY TOWN

Advantages: I am from Alicante
Disadvantages: Nothing

...enchants my city to me. Alicante is a city with beach. Always it is sun and very warm. It is a glad city. Its inhabitants we are glad people. Alicante has many celebrations throughout the year. In January part of Christmas is celebrated. Here Kings Magos and Papa' Noel come (Santa Claus). The 14 of February are San valentin, where beams gifts to your pair or your love. Also in this month there are carnivals, where people disguise themselves ...
...consists of being walking from Alicante to Santa Faz, a small very pretty town. In April it is Easter. A celebration in which there is no school during 12 days. The summer in Alicante is wonderful. Many tourists come, many are English, like you, who you are wonderful. In winter he does not make cold, and people leave much to take a walk by sites like the Esplanade, the marine stroll, the castle of Santa Barbara... and tens of pretty places ...
