The
Town
Alicante's exceptional location between the mountains
and the sea provides the city with a special kind of enrapturing beauty.
The tipical Spanish city, wherever one roams, is pervaded with the savour
of the sea, playing its deeply-felt role as a seaport, as it has always
done.
If you've ever dreamed of castles in Spain, Alicante is that dream come
true. The brooding Moorish castle of Santa Barbara looms over this seaside
city on the "Costa Blanca", Spain's shining southeast coast,
an ever-present reminder of the city's ancient roots. Below the castle
hill are the narrow, winding streets of Santa Cruz, the "old town,"
and along the harbor, a jumping off place for North Africa and Mallorca,
runs the palm-fringed Esplanada de España, wonderful for strolling,
people watching, and contemplation.
Alicante enjoys a wonderful climate year round, its splendid
beaches winning the Blue Flag Awards from the E.U. every year.
Here, people speak Spanish, with no strong accent or regional dialect.
This is a beautiful
city in which to learn Spanish, as well as being a place where you
can really unwind and enjoy the experience!
With 500,000 inhabitants, Alicante offers the advantages of a
medium-sized city, in an exceptional location, with a wonderful
cultural life and such fascinating age-old traditions as the festivals
of the 'Moors and Christians'.
