    My third visit to this castle over the years. A place I find quite interesting.

    Free to get in. You can walk up, but that takes ages. You can also go up in the lift from the coast road, which is well worth the couple of Euro to get in.

    A new coffee shop/bar/cafe has opened in the 7 years since my previous visit.

    Lots of things to look at from a historic perspective, and very good views of the city from the ramparts.

    As with lost of historic sites, this is not really very disables friendly.

    Great beach, not as busy as Alicante, 20 min journey on tram from Alicante, although buying a ticket was confusing (ticket machines on tram) - varied bars and restaurants. Worth a visit if you’re staying in Alicante for a change of scenery.

    Clean, air conditioned and frequent. Although buying a ticket was a little complicated. You need to purchase on the tram from the machine. Couldn’t work out how to do it and ended up not paying (both directions) - was a little nervous as I know there could be a ticket inspector but I genuinely couldn’t work out how to pay for a ticket.

    A nice place for a walk and a look at the markets. The fountains light up at night and there are restaurants along the front too. A clean area with seating along the way. Look out for the panda

    Definitely the most beautiful part of Alicante. I visited early morning, off season, it was quiet and sunny.
    Beautiful colourful houses, flowers. And amazing views from the top. Definitely the best place to watch the sunset, unfortunately i didn’t know that during my one night stay.
    It has a lot of steps to reach the nicest parts, but lots of streets and little squares with nice views to take a break.
    Do not miss if you’re in Alicante!

    Fantastic produce by such a vast array of vendors who are so friendly and happy to help silly English people navigate with very poor Spanish. It’s worth learning a bit about the market’s history to fully appreciate such a wonderful place

    We went in January 2024 to see the Terracotta Warriors on loan from China and it was absolutely fantastic! Very thrilling as they arranged the rooms to build anticipation. Great job!

    This is a great and small museum. It tells about the history while showing some of the beautiful work! It's a quick and free visit, so even kids can hold the interest without getting bored.

    Summer is more fun than winter here because it is very cold to swim in winter but less crowded in winter months. What do you think?

    Another free museum in Alicante - modern and central with a variety of changing exhibits.
    An easy visit in the city centre.
    Backpacks are not allowed and must be left at reception - no lockers.

    €5 per person, seniors, to enter is decent value. The audio guide provides an interesting and informative insight into the history and culture of a truly fascinating building. Full of interest and atmosphere, the Bascillia is a wonderful, charming and extremely touching place to visit. The walk up to the top of the bell tower is a bit challenging but worth the effort because the views are spectacular.
