Alicante is perhaps best known for its airport and tens of thousands of
holiday makers from across Europe will be travelling through the
terminus on their way to established resorts such as Benidorm. Most
visitors to this region of Spain will visit Alicante twice – on arrival
and on departure. The region itself has a preconception of sand and sea
but looking beyond the obvious and exploring further can reveal some
hidden treasures for the more inquisitive traveller.
In short, Alicante is a good base for a more subtle holiday in the Costa Blanca. The attractions of the beaches and coast are a given in this area of Spain, but Alicante avoids the trappings of bright lights and nightlife so personified by its' neighbours. Alicante is an upmarket town built around a modernised marina and provides a pleasant base to move around the wider Costa Blanca region – an area that has much appeal for the more discerning traveller.
