Nova Tabarca Island

A visit to Tabarca island is an absolute must for everyone. Boats from the company Kontiki depart from the marina in Alicante several times a day during the summer months. In low seasons it is better to confirm timetables beforehand. The journey takes around one hour from Alicante. The route will give you the opportunity to enjoy the coastline. Try one of the traditional fish stews on the terrace of one of the restaurants. Also, on the island, you will find nice little bays to swim in, as well as a beach offering different facilities. If you decide to stay overnight on the island, there are also little hotels peppered along it.

La Casita de las Macetas Azules

La Casita de las Macetas Azules is a charming little house in the Old Quarter, instantly recognisable by the blue flower pots that cover its façade. Often overlooked by tourists who stick to the main streets, it is one of Alicante’s hidden gems. Reaching it involves climbing a set of steps that eventually lead up towards Santa Bàrbera Castle. The spot is particularly popular for photos with a colourful backdrop and a glimpse of local character.

Gravina Museum of Fine Arts — MUBAG

The Gravina Museum of Fine Arts occupies the 18th century Gravina Palace, which once belonged to the Count of Lumiares and housed the Provincial Archives. It exhibits works owned by the Provincial Council of Alicante, with collections comprising works of art created in Alicante from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century.

Archaeological Museum of Alicante — MARQ Museum

Created in 1932, MARQ Museum was originally located on the ground floor of the Provincial Council building on Avenida de la Estación in Alicante. In 2002 it was transferred to the former site of the San Juan de Dios Provincial Hospital. If you visit this highly innovative and visual museum, you can enjoy an avant-garde approach to archaeology supported by modern audiovisual techniques. Its exhibits stretch from the Palaeolithic age to Contemporary Modern Culture.
