Welcome to Alicante!
When we moved with our family to Alicante some years ago, we started a little website mostly for our
friends who might visit us. Quickly it became more and more popular and we received many questions
from tourists around the world who where looking for some additional information on Alicante and
other cities around the Costa Blanca.
We started expanding our website covering other cities around the Costa Blanca. With information on
Benidorm, Denia, Calpe, Torrevieja and many others www.alicante-spain.com has become increas-
ingly popular.
In order to give you as much practical and hand’s-on information as possible, we put this little
ALICANTE TRAVEL GUIDE together. It is meant to give you a ONE-DAY-TOUR of the city, where
you can enjoy most of the beautiful places around. In addition we added important addresses and tel-
ephone numbers of airlines, taxi and the various consulates, so you have something in hand when you
arrive here for your next holiday.
All the best and enjoy Alicante and the Costa Blanca,
German born Hubert Keil runs a marketing company and lives with
his Spanish born wife Gloria and her daughter Anna, in a suburb of
Alicante. For many years he has run an internet site about the Costa
Blanca area, giving tips for travellers and residents.

Alicante
How to explore it in one day
Just coming back from a short business trip to London, we were sitting together with friends
in our garden in the Alicante suburb of San Juan on a warm summer evening. Whilst sitting
together I mentioned the request from the escapartist for an Alicante article which I received
some days before. You should write about “Alicante and how to explore it in one day” my wife
said, because traditional Costa Blanca tourists really won’t have much interest in the city but
more in the beaches, villages and bars around the area.
Imagine some of you will come over and spend these summer holidays around the Costa
Blanca in places like Benidorm, Torrevieja, Denia or Calpe. After two month of sunbathing and
party at night, you finally get your act together and do a one day visit to Alicante just to be able
to tell the loved once at home that you have seen some culture and arts as well.
The city is best explored by foot starting at the harbour area, where many parking areas are
available. So we leave our car next to the Melia Hotel right on the harbour entrance. (A quick
tip at the beginning, if you arrive at Alicante Airport you can get a very good Alicante map right
at the tourist information centre at the arrival hall.)

it’s too hot), see the bullfighting ring or visit the Park Ruiz de Alda north of Alicante just to name
a view. However you might reconsider your plans when you are actually visiting the Costa
Blanca area, because above everything stands usually the beach, the sand and the sea.
