The Shopping to Visit
El Barrio
A stone's throw from La Rambla, El Barrio serves as Alicante's historical heart. Its narrow, vintage streets host an eclectic assortment of businesses, including tobacconists, clothes and souvenir shops, adult stores, and flower vendors. This captivating neighbourhood is replete with must-see attractions. Take the opportunity to visit Casa Carbonell, a luxurious home dating back to the 1920s and inspired by Beaux-Arts architecture. Every weekend, El Barrio is busy with locals in search of food and entertainment, solidifying its role as a primary hub for dining and nightlife.
El Corte Inglés
Spain’s largest chain of department stores is to be found at the intersection of Avenida Maisonnave and Avenida Federico Soto. Sooner or later, everyone comes here. Take the opportunity to buy 'turrones', nougat with nuts. You can also find Fondillon, a wine unique to the Alicante region.
Esplanada de España
Walking along the Explanada you will find a versatile craftwork market with a high number of stands offering clothes, leather goods and decorative items, perfect souvenirs of your visit to Alicante.

All kinds of high-quality products can be bought at the Market, especially local fish and seafood, vegetables and fruit, as well as other typical local products.
