Hallo, alicante

Different civilizations have passed through these lands, leaving their mark which can be seen in all corners of this emblematic city. All of this adds to the appeal of this modern city with a primary focus on tourism, but also a special interest in industry and commerce. Alicante, situated on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, offers not only a great variety of services but also a wide range of cultural activities, with its museums, its festivals and its nature areas, in particular the Island of Tabarca (Mediterranean Marine Reserve).

TuriBús

For those who want to have a general idea of Alicante, or for those with less time, Alicante offers a special service — the TuriBús — a bus through the city with 10 interesting stops for holidaymakers. The sights and sites are explained in Spanish, Valencian, English, French, German and Italian.

Hogueras Museum

Museo de Fogueres, also known as Museo De Las Hogueras and Bonfire museum, is dedicated to the most popular “fiesta” in Alicante. It shows the "ninots", or wooden statues that have been "saved" — i.e., not burned every year — in a video room showing the best of this "fiesta", photographs, costumes, etc. This museum is especially nice for families with children!

Civil War Anti-aircraft Shelters

The objects and text explanations displayed in the different rooms intend to show visitors the historical and social context that surrounded the construction and use of these bomb shelters in Alicante during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939).You can find several preserved shelters throughout Alicante: 1. Plaza de Séneca; 2. Plaza Dr. Balmis;3. Les Cigarreres cultural centre (former Fábrica de Tabacos);4. Castillo de San Fernando (from Calle Padre Mariana);5. Marqués de Molins;6. Plaza Músico Óscar Tordera Iñesta;7. Santa Faz monastery.

Old Town Quarter

Back in the old town quarter, we recommend a route that includes a visit to the San Nicholas Co-cathedral dating from the 17th century. The cloisters, however, are from the 15th-century (Herrerian Renaissance style).The Town Hall building is an 18th-century Baroque building. The Santa María Basilica, a gothic structure based on the mosque from the ancient town, dates from the 14th and 16th centuries and was completed with Baroque and Rococo finishes in the 18th century.
