Alicante is a destination for travelers who want a blend of city and sea without the large crowds typical of some of the more famous Spanish resort towns. You can spend your days on the beach, exploring the old town, or enjoying restaurants by the water, while the evenings bring a lively atmosphere and long walks along the coast. Thanks to its warm climate for most of the year, Alicante is an excellent choice for both a short weekend getaway and a longer holiday.
