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.

Aquopolis Torrevieja

In Aquopolis Torrevieja, you will find attractions for everyone: if you want an adrenaline rush, slide down in High Emotion. Speed, a water slide, is designed for adrenaline lovers, which will appeal to both adults and children. All children under 10 years will have fun in the Kids Zone, MiniPark and Charmed Lake. Have a relaxing time with your family in our Sand Beach or at The VIP Area. The park opens seasonally from June to early September.

Castell de Sant Ferran

If you’ve already explored the popular Santa Bárbara Castle but are still looking for views of Alicante, especially at sunset, make your way to Sant Ferran Castle. Located within Doctor Rico Park and next to Del Tossal Park, this historic fortress is far less crowded than other city viewpoints, making it an ideal spot for a picnic or a quiet break on a bench with a drink and some snacks. Its peaceful atmosphere is part of the charm, but keep in mind there are no shops or vendors nearby, so it’s best to bring everything you need before starting the climb.

Civil War Anti-aircraft Shelters

Alicante still bears witness to the bombings it endured during the Spanish Civil War, with several preserved air-raid shelters dotted across the city. Some of these have been restored and now feature displays of artefacts, photographs and explanatory texts that provide insight into the historical and social context in which they were built and used between 1936 and 1939. The best known of these shelters is found in Plaza de Séneca, where a fully restored site now forms part of the 'Centro de Interpretación Sobre los Refugios Antiaéreos'. Another, just a short walk away in Plaza Dr. Balmis, stands out for its submarine-style doors, designed to seal off gases and protect those inside. If you want to explore more than just one of these historic spaces, the municipality runs guided tours that cover several shelters around Alicante. These tours are detailed, engaging and very reasonably priced.
