No wonder so many tourists choose to come to this Spanish coastal town. The reasons abound 300 days of sunshine a year, its wonderful gastronomy - seafood, fish, vegetables - its beaches, its fiestas and the small size of the city, with a beautiful historic center that can be explored on foot. All these factors make Alicante's quality of life one of the best in Spain. Here it is impossible to get bored. Every month, or sometimes even every week, Alicante offers festivals with parades of people in costume, sharing Spanish joy and energy with everyone. From the famous Hogueras festivities in June and the Easter processions in April to Carnival in February, it doesn't matter what time of year you come, you'll have just as much fun. Most people who pass through here usually see the spectacular panoramic view from the Castle of Santa Barbara. Going down you will find the typical neighborhood of Santa Cruz, with narrow streets, low houses, and white facades, which makes the colorful flowers that adorn the narrow balconies stand out even more. Further down, and getting closer to the sea, is the Explanada de España, a typical place for locals to stroll and relax. Almost regardless of the day of the year, it is possible to bathe in the Postiguet beach, one of the most famous in the city and known throughout the Valencian Community. Another possibility just outside the city is to discover the hidden beauty of the coves of Cabo de las Huertas, next to Playa de San Juan, where you can walk along the cape following an urban path by the sea that runs almost always next to: small coves, natural pools, fossil dunes and remarkable archaeological remains. Of course, you can't miss the food: rice is probably one of the most attractive foods because of the many ways to cook it. Apart from the fact that there are real master chefs in the city, we can find places that present menus with more than twenty ways of cooking rice, some of which you will surely end up loving. There are many, many reasons to get to know Alicante, which you will have to discover for yourselves. And if you want to enjoy your experience even more: join People Like Us!
