Barri Vell Santa Creu — Old Town Quarter

No trip to Alicante would be complete without a stroll through El Barri Vell, the city’s charming Old Quarter. Its maze of narrow streets lies beneath the Santa Bàrbera Castle and is filled with taverns, small shops and local life. Among its most notable landmarks is the San Nicolás Co-Cathedral, an example of 17th-century architecture, though its cloisters date back to the 15th century in Herrerian Renaissance style. Other highlights include the Town Hall, an elegant 18th-century Baroque building, the Santa María Basilica, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Casa de la Asegurada Museum.

Esplanada de Espanya

Explanada de España is one of the city’s emblems. It runs parallel to one of the port wharfs and is lined on both sides with rows of palm trees. The floor is decorated with approximately 6.6 million tricolour marble tiles forming a design with a characteristic wave effect mosaic. Visitors and locals alike can enjoy these areas at any time of the year, thanks to the pleasant climate. Throughout the year there are workshops, entertainment, children’s theatre, puppet shows, etc. predominantly aimed at children and families.

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 12 interesting stops for holidaymakers. The sights and sites are explained in Spanish, Valencian, English, French, German and Italian. The service operates between March and December.

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.
