Fantastic monuments and visits

In addition to its magnificent beaches and affordable holiday lettings in Alicante, this city has many other attractions. The city has an impressive monumental wealth, concentrated mainly in the area of ​​the old quarter. For this reason, when you walk through its streets it is easy to feel like going back in time. Traces that go from the Bronze Age to the present day and that tell us about the events that have taken place in the city over the centuries. However, the city is much more than its old town and in its different boroughs and it offers endless attractions so that each traveller can have a bit of what they wish for their dream holiday in Alicante. For example, one of its jewels is Cabo Raig, not only because of its beaches but also because it has very interesting museums and monuments that are worth visiting.

Alicante for beach lovers

Alicante boasts beautiful beaches with all kinds of equipment to enjoy a wonderful day at the beach. The Saladar, the Postiguet, the Albufereta, Almadraba, San Juan and Cabo de las Huertas tend to be the most frequented during the summer months, especially the Albufereta, since it is very sheltered from tides, ensuring safe swimming for children and adults alike. But it also has a children's play area and offers the possibility of practising kayaking, snorkelling, sailing and other water sports of your choice. If you found the perfect accommodation in Alicante to rent and you want a quiet beach, we recommend Cabo de Huertas, more discreet because of the difficulty to access it.
