Must-Do Experience, Popular with Locals, Tip - What to See & Do, Town / City
The heart of the Costa Blanca is Alicante, a thriving metropolis wrapped around a natural harbor in use for almost 10,000 years. The Mediterranean sunshine smiles on seven sweet kilometers of sand, covered with umbrellas and bathers throughout the summer months.
The usual assortment of festive bars and clubs, excellent restaurants, and high-rise hotels line the palm-fringed Playa Postiguet, along with the city's famed pedestrian promenade, the elaborately tiled Explanada de España.
And, in between enjoying the amusements of Alicante's endless summer, you could visit one of its three excellent archaeological museum or the 9th-century Castle of Santa Barbara, a remnant of Alicante's Moorish days.
