15 Wonderful Things to Do in Alicante, Alicante, Spain

Alicante is the quiet, medium-sized capital of Costa Blanca, the famous Mediterranean coastline of Spain.

Alicante is well connected with the rest of Spain and many European countries. It is also a port city, so several options exist for getting to Alicante. Alicante Airport, Elche, serves international and domestic flights.
