Alicante Walking Tour
Alicante, Spain
Why Walk Alicante
Alicante is centered on the Explanada de Espana, a palm-lined waterfront promenade paved with 6.6 million marble tiles in a wave pattern. Above the city, the Castillo de Santa Barbara — one of the largest medieval fortresses in Spain — occupies the summit of Mount Benacantil, offering sweeping coastal views. The old town, Barrio de la Santa Cruz, climbs the hillside in a tangle of whitewashed houses and steep lanes.
