Let's go 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 towards the center, northwest of the ´Explanada´, we can find the impressive Cathedral of Saint Nicholas surrounded by the narrow streets of the old quarter of ´El Barro´, where the best nightlife and some of the cheapest accommodation can be found. Walking towards the southwest by ´Calle 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.
