Flights to Alicante

Spain 's eastern coast will show you the inviting city of Alicante . Cloistered between two capes, this is the heart of the resort region of Costa Blanca.

The African influence is visible as you walk through the streets amidst shops filled with African carvings and nudge elbows with caftan wearing women going about their shopping.

Venture into Alicante 's historical district and you'll find reminders of a bygone era as you stroll before Baroque buildings.

The fronds of palm trees flutter on the breeze of the streets that boast inviting cafes that tempt you with enticing aromas. Boutiques and shops are always eager to welcome shoppers and the city's gardens are always a pleasure to walk through.

Walk across plazas paved with marble and marvel at the Explanada d'Espanya, just off the harbour which is home to hundreds of yachts. High above the city, Castle of Santa Barbara invites tourists to take in the rich architecture and history. And the blend Roccoco and Barocque make the Basilica of Santa Maria a must see. To escape the bustle of the city, wind your way down to Postiguet beach to relax or play.

Alicante 's international airport means you can easily make your way to or from Benidorm and Torrevieja. If you're looking forward to joining the locals in their annual fiesta celebration of Saint Joan, book your trip for the last week of June. This is a crowded, but exciting time to see all the vibrancy the city has to offer.

While in town, remember that a 10% tip is appreciated in restaurants. Taxi drivers also expect a small tip for their services.
