The Route
The route below is the full Alicante Complete Overview — Roman ruins, Castle, beach, market, port. Hand-crafted over years of running the city. Hop in.
Centrally located, formed by two large landscaped islands. A popular gathering spot for locals and visitors — lush greenery, benches in the sun, and a quiet pause before the journey starts. Conveniently close to the port, with a vibrant atmosphere especially in warmer months when street performers and musicians often appear.
An ancient Roman settlement dating back to the 2nd century BC, set on the slopes of Mount Benacantil. Known as Lucentum, Iulia Augusta, this was once a significant Roman city. Twenty-five acres of streets, houses, a forum, basilica and thermal baths — preserved enough that you can still read the layout of a Roman town in the stones.
One of the longest and most popular beaches in Alicante — roughly seven kilometres of fine golden sand and crystal-clear water. A Blue Flag beach with gradual entry into the sea, making it a favourite for families. Lined with cafes, beach bars, ice cream parlours and a vibrant promenade.
The Archaeological Museum of Alicante is internationally recognized for its focus on the region's historical heritage. Modern building, interactive displays, audiovisual presentations — and an extensive collection spanning prehistory to the medieval period. Iberian treasures, Roman sculptures, the Islamic ceramic collection, and the finds from Lucentum itself all live here.
Perched on Mount Benacantil with panoramic views over the city and the Mediterranean. Origins go back to the 9th century during Islamic rule, with successive expansions under the Moors, the Kingdom of Aragon and the Catholic Monarchs. Walls, towers and bastions in a mix of architectural styles — plus underground passages and chambers you can still walk through.
Dedicated to the history, art and culture of bullfighting — a traditional Spanish spectacle that's been at the heart of national identity for centuries. Historical artifacts, costumes worn by famous matadors, photographs, paintings, sculptures. Whatever your view of the tradition, the cultural significance is undeniable.
The Mercado Central de Alicante — an Art Nouveau gem from the early 20th century with a beautiful iron structure and stained glass windows. Inside, a vibrant maze of stalls selling fresh local produce, seafood, meats, cheeses and spices. Where locals shop daily and where you'll taste the real flavour of the region.
An emblematic gathering point with a wide central esplanade, palm trees, benches and a large ornamental fountain. Home to the monument to the Heroes of the city. Particularly beautiful during the Christmas season when it's draped in decorative lighting — and the starting point for many of Alicante's biggest parades and celebrations.
Surrounded by beautiful buildings including Alicante City Hall and the Central Post Office. A central, bustling area with shops, cafes and restaurants. The square itself offers seating, trees and fountains — a pleasant pause point in the middle of the city, frequently used as a reference for meeting up.
The Provincial Council Expansion — a modern district north of the historic centre, near the Explanada de España and the Port of Alicante. Residential buildings, shops, restaurants, parks and green areas. A glimpse of contemporary Alicante alongside its ancient roots.
The Alicante seaside promenade — kilometres of palm-lined pedestrian walkway running along the Mediterranean. Benches in the shade, cafes and ice-cream parlours opening onto the sea, playgrounds and outdoor fitness equipment. A meeting point for the city in the evenings and at weekends.
The Port of Alicante is a vibrant marina lined with palm trees, restaurants and shops — a hub for maritime activities and boat excursions. Next to it sits the Explanada de España, a palm-lined promenade famous for its mosaic floor made of over six million marble tiles. Street vendors, sea breeze, and one of the most photographed walks in the city.
The heart of historic Alicante — narrow streets, colourful houses, traditional architecture. A vibrant atmosphere where you can feel the city's centuries of history. The Santa Cruz neighbourhood sits at the foot of Mount Benacantil, offering breathtaking views of the city and the Mediterranean from one of the most charming corners in town.
A picturesque neighbourhood within the Casco Antiguo, nestled below Mount Benacantil. Whitewashed houses adorned with flower-filled balconies, narrow alleyways tiled with murals, and Mediterranean views around every corner. Medieval in origin — once home to fishermen and dock workers — and still the most photogenic quarter in the city.
Dedicated to the history and legacy of The Ocean Race — formerly the Whitbread Round the World Race — held since 1973. Interactive exhibits, multimedia presentations and displays that walk you through the world's premier offshore sailing race. Daring stories, incredible vessels, and the reason Alicante is permanently linked to global sailing culture.
