This page is all about the town of Alicante on the Costa Blanca coast of Spain. It contains useful Alicante tourist information for people intending to visit or holiday in Alicante.

Alicante is a very well-known city primarily because of Alicante airport through which many of the visitors to the Costa Blanca arrive.

Alicante is also the capital of the Costa Blanca although it has quite a small population of approximately 300,000.

Strangely enough, most people arrive at Alicante airport and then head out of Alicante at the first opportunity, strange because there are many attractions of the city in particular Alicante has some of the finest beaches in the whole of the Costa Blanca.

Alicante promenade is also worthy of note. The 'Explanada de Espana" is lined with palm trees and a great place for a walk in the evening as many Spanish families do.

Also worthy of note is Alicante castle which overlooks the city and surrounding area providing spectacular views. The castle dates from the sixteenth century and is well-preserved.
