Alicante is located by the Mediterranean Sea and serves as the capital of the Province of Alicante in the Valencian Autonomous Community of Spain. It is an important port city and home to Spain’s oldest railway connection. The city is one of the fastest-growing in Spain, with an economy primarily driven by tourism, winemaking, services, and administration.

Bathed in sunshine and blessed with a pleasant climate full of Mediterranean charm, Alicante is a renowned tourist hub within the Costa Blanca region. The city boasts wide, clean streets lined with trees and a strong modern vibe, yet visitors can still discover historic relics in the old town that serve as precious urban treasures. Among Alicante’s many attractions, the most famous is Santa Bárbara Castle, perched atop Mount Benacantil at 166 meters above sea level. Overlooking this picturesque city, it stands as the oldest building in Alicante.

Alicante’s long coastline and pristine white-sand beaches are highly popular. Visitors can not only stroll along the shore and soak up the sun but also enjoy a range of water sports and facilities, including sailing, rowing, and yachting.
