Top highlights Alicante
Castillo de Santa Bárbara - The castle above the rooftops of Alicante
Castillo de Santa Bárbara - The castle above the rooftops of Alicante
The imposing Santa Bárbara Castle towers around 166 meters above the city on Mount Benacantil and is considered one of Alicante's most important landmarks. It dates back to the 9th century and bears witness to the eventful history of the region. Visitors can stroll through the old walls and towers, discover small exhibitions and immerse themselves in the past. However, the view is particularly impressive: From up here, a spectacular panorama opens up over the old town, the marina and the deep blue Mediterranean. Whether by day or by night, a visit to the castle is an unforgettable experience.
Paseo de la Explanada / Explanada de España - Stroll under palm trees
The Explanada de España is the heart of the city promenade and a landmark of Alicante. Over 6.5 million colorful marble stones form a fascinating wave pattern that invites you to stroll and linger. Lined with shady palm trees, the promenade offers a special flair at any time of day: in the morning with a café con leche, in the afternoon on a relaxed stroll or in the evening when street musicians create a Mediterranean atmosphere. Here you can enjoy the typical Spanish attitude to life to the full: lively, warm and relaxed at the same time.
Isla de Tabarca - A trip to paradise
The small island of Tabarca just outside Alicante is a real natural and cultural gem. As the only inhabited island in the region, it once served as a refuge for fishermen and sailors. Today, it delights visitors with its charming village center, fresh fish in quaint restaurants and its maritime flair. Tabarca is particularly popular for its clear waters and protected marine nature reserve, which offers fantastic conditions for snorkeling and diving. Those who prefer a quieter pace can hike along the rocky coast or enjoy the sun in the small bays. A day trip here feels like a journey to another world: relaxed, authentic and full of Mediterranean beauty.
